User:Ahmaad.Ansarii/Evaluate an Article

Which article are you evaluating?
I chose the Persian column, which relates to the columns of Persepolis built during the Achaemenid Persians era.

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article because this is related to one of the most important historical architectures of my home country Iran, and I have visited the place in person.

Lead section

 * The lead includes good introductory sentences, but I think that when it's about building years, it should be more precise if there is a resource about that rather than just saying "probably."
 * It clearly describes a brief overview of the structure, the building era, the column features, and the common places these columns existed; however, there is no sentence related to the exact location of the column, and the reader should use the hyperlinks of Persepolis to understand more.
 * The article includes three major sections besides the lead, and there is no short description of the sections in the lead.
 * The lead includes information about how Achaemenids used the experience of artists from Egypt, Mesopotamia, and Elam, but there is no more information in the article about this. This should be interesting for the reader to know how other architects have inspired them.

Content

 * The article's content is reasonably relevant to the topic, and the information described in the article is attractive to the reader.
 * Since the content is related to history, the content is up-to-date. However, there may be room for improvement based on recent research by historians, architecture historians, and archeologists of the related location.
 * The content describes the columns and different types in great detail. But somewhere in the text talks about the example of the column in Chicago, and there is no more detail about where we can find it in Chicago. So, something is missing here.
 * When discussing how the existing empires' architecture inspired the columns' architects, the author should point to an example of the related columns that help the reader explore more.\

Tone and Balance

 * The article seems neutral since it doesn't tell anything but facts, even when discussing how the Islamic Republic favors Islamic architecture rather than non-Islam.

More:
I noticed punctuation, grammatical and spelling errors in the writing, which need to be improved. But still, the text is clear to read.

The images are perfect and help the reader understand more about the form and characteristics of the columns.

The article is rated as "Low-importance" in C-class and is in WikiProject and WikiProject Iran.

More information can be found on other resources web. Also, the Persian history books in Farsi can be used to extract more information and improve the article.

Overall impressions
I think the article is good in terms of showing the characteristics of the Persian column but can be improved by having more information from the most recent research by experts and more Persian resources. Also, more information about how other nations' architectures inspired the artist is needed. So, I believe the article can be improved with more investigation into this subject. Also, grammatical, spelling, and punctuation errors can be improved. Overall, I gained valuable information from this article.
