Evaluate the article
[edit]Lead section
[edit]The lead includes a clear and concise introductory sentence that describes the topic of legal history. The lead also includes a brief description of how laws have changed over history. All information in the lead is also present in the article. The lead is also concise and not overly detailed, giving a good transition into the main information of the article.
Content
[edit]The article's content is relevant to the topic. The content covers various different types of legal concepts and how they evolved over time. The content is up-to-date as it was revised earlier this year. I dont think that this content is historically underrepresented.
Tone and Balance
[edit]This article is a neutral reporting on legal history. There are no heavily biased claims towards a certain position. I feel that the European law section was more representated than the American and African sections.
Sources and References
[edit]All facts are backed up with reliable sources of information. The sources also reflect the available literature on the topic. The majority of sources are current. The sources are also made by various different viewpoints. The source links provided do work.
Organization and writing quality
[edit]The article is well-written and easy to read. It is also free of grammatical and spelling errors. The article is also well-organized and easy to follow.
Images and Media
[edit]The article only provides two images throughout the article. These images are captioned and does not violate Wikipedia's copyright regulations. The images are put to the side of the article and, in my opinon, are not visually appealing.
Talk page discussion
[edit]The talk pabge is mostly filled with criticism and helpful tips for the article. There are also many questions within the talk page. This article is rated as a start-class.
Overall impressions
[edit]The overall status of the article is quite well. The article does a good job of organizing and communicating information. However, the article could benefit from more information in some sections and some more imagery. I would say that the article is fairly developed but could benefit from some minor tweaks.
