Peer review

[edit]

Hello Rmac5! Overall your article was very good. It is a very interesting topic! My biggest recommendation is to work on your organization and add an origin section.

General info

Lead

[edit]

Guiding questions:

  • The lead is concise and to the point. You did a wonderful job at adding more information to ensure that the information they added was discussed in the lead. While the lead was concise it needs a bit more information. For example, you stated "The Temple of Janus, although it was not a normal temple, stood in the Roman Forum near the Basilica Aemilia, along the Argiletum" I would suggest that you add a short description of why the temple was not 'normal'. In addition, I would try to use less leading or opinionative language. Maybe say, "The Temple of Janus was different from other temple because...". I would also add an outline of what you were going to discuss in the article. By outlining the sections you will help with the flow of the article.

Content

[edit]

Guiding questions:

  • The content in this article is generally up to date. Most of the sources are from the 1990s and 2000s. I would recommend adding some more sources to strengthen your article. In addition, a missing section of information is the origin of the temple. Who built it and why?

Tone and Balance

[edit]

Guiding questions:

  • The information is generally nutereal. You did a wonderful job of stating the fact without our own opinion. The only time saw a bit of leading language was in the lead when you called the temple not normal. Please see the lead evaluation to see how I recommend changing it.

Guiding questions:

  • The links did not works. The sources were relevant to the topic. There was some elements, such as a sources that discusses origins of the temple and more sources about the modern ruins. Also a discussion of how they became ruins.

Organization

[edit]

Guiding questions:

  • The article was well written. There were no spelling mistakes. There were some grammatical error, such as sentence fragments and miss placed commons. I would recommend that you read your articles out loud and maybe have a friend read it for you. Your article needs a bit more organization and use subheading to break up the information. This will hope your article flow and make it easier for your reader to follow.
