Food and Diet in Ancient Medicine
Article Evaluation
The article itself is actually relatively complete, though received an S rating from Wikipedia, marking it as an article that has a lot of room for improvement. The content of the article is extremely relevant to its title, though I wonder if the article could actually be split into two-- one focusing on Ancient Roman medicine and one focusing on Ancient Greek medicine. This is particularly because both subsections of the article go into very specific topics on both Ancient Greek and Ancient Roman medicine that don't necessarily build off of or reflect each other. Most claims have a citation, but many are lacking-- the article is quite lengthy and there are only twenty total sources. All of the sources appear to be relevant, either from original texts or accredited journal articles. The "Facts and Details" source is probably not the best. The article was actually created by a student, and lacks a talk page, so it will be interesting to pinpoint exactly what needs fixed.

Ancient Greek Law
Article Evaluation
The article is thorough, but lacks law outside of Athens. It is written neutrally, besides it severely lacking in anything about law from other city-states in Greece. There is only one small section about a practice in Spartan law, but besides that, the article is completely Athens-centric. The various sources are relevant and likely accurate, but the article as a whole would probably benefit from more sourcing.
