User:Amelie Pak/Evaluate an Article

Which article are you evaluating?
Persian miniature

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
It reminds me of Korean bookshelf minhwa, and I'm curious as to what inspired these compositions/motifs. Additionally, there is great detail in pattern and variation of color, suggesting extensive trade to create such paints, so I would like to explore that as well.

Evaluate the article
Lead section: Relatively clear, summarizes most key points.

Structure: Overall logical but it would make more sense to begin with history instead of style.

Content: The latter sections are less elaborate than the beginning. The section on maktab is organized but seems out of place, and the "Intangible cultural heritage" and "In later culture" sections can be developed.

Tone: The tone occasionally sounds passive and uncertain. Despite the inconclusive nature of some of these sources, there could be better writing than saying "probably" before most statements.

Sourcing: The sources themselves look credible, but some claims are not sourced, making the text difficult to verify or trust (ie. the paragraph beginning with "Royal librarians").

Overall, some fact checking can be done to the sections with lines of reasoning without citation, and there is incorrect grammar in the "Style" section. As for content, some sections can be rearranged and more detail can be added to the end categories as well as in the "Influences" part.
