The Archaeology of Ritual and Magic

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)

• 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)
  • Ah, that's an interesting point, thanks. (Midnightblueowl (talk) 11:23, 28 April 2012 (UTC))

Comments

• 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.
