Peer review

This is where you will complete your peer review exercise. Please use the following template to fill out your review.

General info

Lead

Guiding questions:

  • Has the Lead been updated to reflect the new content added by your peer?
  • Does the Lead include an introductory sentence that concisely and clearly describes the article's topic?
  • Does the Lead include a brief description of the article's major sections?
  • Does the Lead include information that is not present in the article?
  • Is the Lead concise or is it overly detailed?

Lead evaluation

The lead has been updated and includes relevant information and a concise definition of the article's subject. It doesn't necessarily include a brief description of the article's major sections, but I'm not sure that it really needs one. It does include information that is not in the article, but it's part of the definition, so I think that's okay.

Content

Guiding questions:

  • Is the content added relevant to the topic?
  • Is the content added up-to-date?
  • Is there content that is missing or content that does not belong?

Content evaluation

Yes. Yes. No. I think the content that has been added is exceptional.

Tone and Balance

Guiding questions:

  • Is the content added neutral?
  • Are there any claims that appear heavily biased toward a particular position?
  • Are there viewpoints that are overrepresented, or underrepresented?
  • Does the content added attempt to persuade the reader in favor of one position or away from another?

Tone and balance evaluation

All of the content seems neutral without any bias or opinions being added in.

Sources and References

Guiding questions:

  • Is all new content backed up by a reliable secondary source of information?
  • Are the sources thorough - i.e. Do they reflect the available literature on the topic?
  • Are the sources current?
  • Check a few links. Do they work?

Sources and references evaluation

The sources look thorough to me, and the links all worked. I think for the Grimms' Fairy Tales you could find a source like the ones you found for the other three collections on that list. Something that gives a description of the book, or any other information about it but I'm not sure.

Organization

Guiding questions:

  • Is the content added well-written - i.e. Is it concise, clear, and easy to read?
  • Does the content added have any grammatical or spelling errors?
  • Is the content added well-organized - i.e. broken down into sections that reflect the major points of the topic?

Organization evaluation

The content is well written and easy to read, but I think it could be more concise in the "Composition of a Collection" section. It seems like you could cut out or combine some of those sentences that are saying some of the same things (or near the same things).

Images and Media

Guiding questions: If your peer added images or media

  • Does the article include images that enhance understanding of the topic?
  • Are images well-captioned?
  • Do all images adhere to Wikipedia's copyright regulations?
  • Are the images laid out in a visually appealing way?

Images and media evaluation

The image and captions are appealing and informative. Looks great.

For New Articles Only

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?

New Article Evaluation

N/A

Overall impressions

Guiding questions:

  • Has the content added improved the overall quality of the article - i.e. Is the article more complete?
  • What are the strengths of the content added?
  • How can the content added be improved?

Overall evaluation

I think you have done a great job with this article! I think the biggest thing I would suggest is to take another look at the "Composition of a Collection" section and see if there's anywhere you can combine or cut some similar things. Great work and great choice!
