  • Are the sources written by a diverse spectrum of authors? Do they include historically marginalized individuals where possible?

New content is supported by secondary sources. There are a variety of modern and ancient sources. The links work.

  • Does the content added have any grammatical or spelling errors?
  • Is the content added well-organized - i.e. broken down into sections that reflect the major points of the topic?

Organization evaluation

edit

The sections have some grammatical errors, missing commas, etc. A few sentences could be reworded to be more clear and concise-the article overall could use more careful proofreading. The content added is organized into sections that reflect the major points of the topic.

  • Does the article include images that enhance understanding of the topic?

For New Articles Only

If the draft you're reviewing is a new article, consider the following in addition to the above.

  • Does the article meet Wikipedia's Notability requirements - i.e. Is the article supported by 2-3 reliable secondary sources independent of the subject?
  • How exhaustive is the list of sources? Does it accurately represent all available literature on the subject?
  • Does the article follow the patterns of other similar articles - i.e. contain any necessary infoboxes, section headings, and any other features contained within similar articles?
  • Does the article link to other articles so it is more discoverable?

New Article Evaluation

Not a new article.

Overall impressions

edit

Guiding questions:

  • Has the content added improved the overall quality of the article - i.e. Is the article more complete?
  • What are the strengths of the content added?
  • How can the content added be improved?

Overall evaluation

edit

I'm impressed with the amount of information added. The article is more complete, and has entirely new sections that support the main topic. I like the section on appearance and the support of archeological as well as textual evidence. Read through the whole article as well as the added sections carefully to edit some grammatical and punctuation mistakes. Some areas can be edited to be more concise and flow better. For example, this sentence you added in the "Purpose of the Gates of Janus" section is unclear: "While Horace does not use prison imagery and could be interpreted as saying peace is kept in the temple or that it is Janus himself locked into the temple."
