I would like there to be more images to enhance the article. The images also could be in a better layout as well.

For New Articles Only

[edit]

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? Yes
  • How exhaustive is the list of sources? Does it accurately represent all available literature on the subject? There are many sources but the sources list could be more extensive.
  • 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? It follows the patterns of other articles very well.
  • Does the article link to other articles so it is more discoverable? Yes

New Article Evaluation

Overall impressions

[edit]

Guiding questions:

  • Has the content added improved the overall quality of the article - i.e. Is the article more complete? There is not much content added but it does improve the overall quality of the article.
  • What are the strengths of the content added? It adds a new perspective from da Vinci.
  • How can the content added be improved? It can definitely be longer and add more to other sections of the article.

Overall evaluation

[edit]

The article could use more extensive writing in some sections, with more sources and images added to enhance the article. I believe this user is not yet done with the article so this is a good start.
