Option 1

Peterhof Palace

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peterhof_Palace

The place is famous for its fountain system, and yet the article provides little information on them, only describing a few. I would expand on that section. Very little is said about the water supply technology. Information should be added on the substantial reservoir structures which operate the fountains and were put in place during 18th century. The history sections could also use some expansion.

A lot of weasel words and phrases: “modest museum”, “truly imposing”, “not overly large”, “deserve mention”, “curious sculptures”, “the most important” etc.

Many statements lack citations.

Option 2

Alcazar of Seville

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alc%C3%A1zar_of_Seville

The article is poorly organized. It lacks general description of the structure and the style, instead providing incomplete information on particular parts. The images don’t match the sections. The long list of rooms given in the article is useless without a proper context. Yet, the article had 517 views per day.

Option 3

Neo-mudejar style

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neo-Mud%C3%A9jar

The article is very short and needs expanding. I would add more on the connection of the style to other styles of the period, explaining what makes it “neo-“. I would add descriptions of several building that represent the style to characterize it better.
