Peer Review

I like the lead. It clearly states the intent of the topic. It is brief enough to not become redundant, but complete enough to give a good understanding of the topic material. It reflects the important concepts that are/will be contained in the rest of the article. You could potentially indicate that there will be a section about circuits.

The article is well balanced and covers the relevant topics. There is not one section that dominates the rest. I think that this article will expand out to be very well organized. The current headings are logical separations between subjects. It will be relatively easy for this article to be neutral due to the technical nature of its focus. The pictures included are very relevant and informing. The visualization of electromagnetic fields is a great way to make this article accessible to all readers.

The current "potential sources" section has a lot of great sources for use later in the article. All of them appear to be reliable.

Your article is very well organized. It has plenty of source material that will help develop this page. Although electromagnetism can be very complicated. As of now, the written sections do well to stick to the title of introductory. They are informational enough to give the reader a good understanding of the subject, without overcomplicating the fundamental topics. The the bulleted "to-be written" preview for each section is a good way to give an introductory sentence or two about the section.

In terms of edits, I think that at the current position, the article covers all the bases. Some of the underlined portions do need some editing, but you clearly recognize that. One specific place I notice underlined is the list about Gauss' law. I think that because of the introductory nature of this article, simply linking the page to Guass' law is sufficient. Similarly, the underlined portions about line integrals and circuit schematics could just be linked to. This would let you get your point across while giving the reader the option to research deeper. Additionally, it may be useful to add a short section describing the units of electromagnetism. I am sure that there are articles for each, but a simple explanation or link of how electromagnetic fields are measured may be helpful to the reader. This could fall under the circuits section. It may be a challenge to simplify the electromagnetic waves section, but I do believe it needs a stand alone section.

"although in that publication he called them "lines of magnetic and electric force" could go to (called "lines of magnetic and electric force" in this publication.)


The most important thing to improve your contribution is to continue to write. This article has an excellent base for expansion upon.
