Peer Review on Helots

Lead-

The lead in the main article looks good. Something that could potential make it the lead better is a photo of what a Helot warrior looked like and how they dressed next to the lead paragraph. Also, if it possible a time frame of when the Helots lived could be useful in the lead paragraph.

Content-

"In Greek military practice, the standard depth of the army's phalanx was eight men, having known this, Herodotus deducted that there was a soldier ratio of seven Helots to one Spartan at Plataea." I think a citation after this sentence is needed. I think a section that can be researched more is the "Helot Revolts" section because the information provided is vague with no background information.

Tone and Balance-

There is a neutral tone in the article. I do not feel pushed on views while reading.

Sources and References -

The reference of Peter Hunt and Helots at the Battle of Platea is a good source. Another source that may be useful is https://www.thegreatcoursesdaily.com/slaves-the-unsung-heroes-of-ancient-greece/. This is done by Robert Garland who has a PHD at Colgate University.

Organization-

The article seems to be organized well.

Images and Media -

I noticed the original article lacked images. I think a great way to contribute to the article is to bring in new images. FishMan312 (talk) 01:26, 29 May 2021 (UTC)
