[edit]

Thank you for creating this article! As a general disclaimer, I am not a subject matter expert or an experienced peer reviewer.

  • Sources
    • Too much reliance on Ref #1 (larsdatter.com) which is a self-published blog.
    • Whole books are cited for specific claims; page numbers needed
  • Lead
    • This could probably use a re-write. The first sentence in particular is very POV and makes a bold, unsourced (but probably true) claim.
    • Lead includes sentence fragments
  • Representation in Art
    • Many words unnecessarily capitalized
    • Titles of works should be italicized
    • Multiple unsourced claims. Examples:
      • Representation of Blind people in Medieval Art often is displayed through the use of including dogs on a leash.
      • Diego Velázquez [...] portraying her with her eyes closed.
      • This was common amongst images of the blind in the 18th Century.
    • Whole section should be based more off of conclusions made in reliable, secondary sources. A list of examples can be helpful, but I don't think this section is best represented by the current list format.

I'm hoping to have more feedback soon. Good luck! Firefangledfeathers (talk) 06:31, 6 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
