User:*m(g)3x5*/Guido Guinizelli

Article Evaluation

 * Lead section:
 * Not clearly written – more about the location of birth than who he was as a person
 * No mention of his love poetry, even though mentioned in the main section


 * Main section:
 * Immediately brings up Dante (completely different person)
 * Excerpt of Purgatorio is in Italian, could use translation from Hollanders’ work, also lacks a citation (yes, there are page ranges, but no actual citation or knowledge of what edition it’s from)
 * Order is weird – themes of poetry come before “brief description” of it
 * Links to Wikipedia pages for basic words, like “poetry” and “love” and “introspection,” but is neither necessary nor helpful.
 * Writes out the major works, but doesn’t include a section with a list
 * Sentence about his death doesn’t even include a date, even though it’s included in the Lead section, and again, there is more info about location than the actual death.


 * Lacking:
 * Quality sources!!
 * Of the 2 sources listed, one is of literary criticism, which is looking at Guido Guinizelli’s work, rather than him as a person, and the other is a “eNotes study guide summary” of him that we don’t even know for sure is a reliable source.
 * Media (images)

Additions/Improvements I want to make

 * Improve lead section
 * Create subsections: biography, love poetry, depiction in Purgatorio
 * Add to depiction in Purgatorio
 * Add image: Sandro Botticelli's drawing of the Terrace of the Lustful (from The World of Dante)
