Wikipedia:Peer review/The Archaeology of Ritual and Magic/archive1

This peer review discussion has been closed.
I've listed this article for peer review because I have recently created it and added much to it, and feel that at this juncture it really requires looking over by someone else. Thanks, Midnightblueowl (talk) 15:25, 25 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • This is a well-constructed article already. I don't like wikilinking in quotations as it may lead to something not (or much more that what was) intended by the author. Consider adding a section about style/methodology/conclusions, for example from Davidson "He shows clearly how beliefs may change but rituals persist, and how the existence of a custom may be revealed by repetition." maclean (talk) 05:24, 28 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Two dab links, (magic and Guildhall Museum).
  • Just check lead number of paras per WP:LEAD, I think four is too many for an article of this length.
  • "Upon publication, it received " new para, reiterate the subject title.
  • Infobox image caption is not a complete sentence so no full stop required.
  • Infobox, no need to capitalised "Hardcover".
  • "had been born" do you mean "was born"?
  • "In his preface" do you mean, "In the preface to The Archaeology..."..."?
  • Don't think you need five columns for footnotes. Probably no more than 2.
  • " pp. 129." just one page, so p. 129.
  • "pp. 128." ditto.
