Madeleine de La Tour d'Auvergne

I am entering this article to be reviewed because I feel that it deserves a good ranking. I have many substantial changes to it, including adding important information with credible sources. Please treat it fairly; it took a lot of work! Note: this is the first article I have submitted for peer review. Ruby2010 (talk) 04:02, 15 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Note: I'm not a member of Wikiproject Biography, but the nominator asked me to review the article. Nikkimaria (talk) 03:43, 16 October 2009 (UTC) Not being familiar with the specific article ranking system of this project, I won't definitively determine class, but by my own criteria the article falls somewhere between C- and B-class. Here are some specific concerns:[reply]

I'd say her marriage into the Medici family deserves a mention in the lead.
The article is rather short, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but in this case I feel it could be expanded.
Generally, month-day articles (ex. April 28) should not be linked
Any information on her life prior to marriage negotiations?
Most opinions are cited, which is commendable, but they should still be worded to make clear that it is someone's opinion (ex. "it was a great honor" -> "it was considered a great honor")
Should "La" in her title be capitalized or not?
Could use a few more wikilinks, but should avoid linking the same term/name more than once
Referencing is complete and well-done
Take a look at policies like WP:WTA, and make sure that the article is written in a strict encyclopedic tone.

Thanks for the input. I mostly just wanted to get a second opinion on it, seeing as how I was really the only person editing it and the fact that this was my first article submission for review. I'll work on making it even better. Thanks! Ruby2010 (talk) 02:37, 18 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
