start class - mid to high importance
This article's lead is not exactly concise and does include things that are not covered in the article.
The article could be reorganized to include a section that is an overview of the house or the architecture.
The tone of the article is neutral. It's fairly easy to read.
It includes a short list of references. There are parts of the article that do not have citations. The list also includes ibid, which is discouraged.
The talk page has very limited activity.

Article title - Rose Hill Cemetery
Article Evaluation
stub class - low to mid importance
Article created for a class project. Appears to be a high school project. Article has many references, but text could be expanded.
No activity on talk page. Lead should be re-written so that it only includes things already in article. Organization needs work.
Tone is neutral. Text needs some copyediting.
