Greetings! Over the next couple days, I will be reviewing this article and posting my thoughts, comments, and concerns here. I may make minor copyedits and fixes, but anything larger will be discussed here with you. Cheers! Reaper Eternal (talk) 13:47, 14 May 2019 (UTC)

Reviewer comments
For the Rule 90 image, it appears to be a 500 by 500 array of cells in a 2D plane, whereas the text correctly calls Rule 90 a 1D cellular automaton. I believe the image is a time-space diagram with time step increasing as you go down the y-axis. This is not readily apparent and may be confusing to users unfamiliar with the subject matter. Would it be possible to either (1) put axes on the image or (2) add a sentence or two to the caption describing what the image represents?

On another note, the Rule 90 image on the page is so compressed from the original that it appears grayscale and not binary. Do you think increasing it to its original size (500 by 500 pixels) would be better for the presentation in this article? I can also generate a smaller Rule 90 time-space diagram rather than 500 cells over 500 generations if needed.

Other than that, this article looks very good! Reaper Eternal (talk) 20:09, 17 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Ok, I replaced by a coarser image and copyedited the caption to clarify that it is a time-space diagram. —David Eppstein (talk) 23:29, 17 May 2019 (UTC)
