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?
  • How exhaustive is the list of sources? Does it accurately represent all available literature on the subject?
  • 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?
  • Does the article link to other articles so it is more discoverable?

Overall impressions

[edit]

Guiding questions:

  • Has the content added improved the overall quality of the article - i.e. Is the article more complete?
    • I think that you added a lot more background information to the article, which helps a lot! I would make it more organized by having subheadings to separate certain parts so the reader knows where to go to for specific information.
  • What are the strengths of the content added?
    • I think the addition of more background and history made the article a lot better.
  • How can the content added be improved?
    • Try playing around with using images or media to help, and organizing subheadings in the main points as well!
