Evaluate the drafted changes
The author mostly focused on adding source and pictures with descriptions to the article.

The descriptions of the images are neutral in tone and do connect to the topic. The images chosen have descriptions that provide adequate information on the location, size, and what the images depicts. I happened to like the section on the pictures because of how concise the information provided was. The chosen images also showcase the discussed art work well and are good images.

The sources look reliable because they all come from museum or academic sources. They also seem to logically be connected to the article and there is not any unnecessary sources, coming from a variety of time periods including many modern sources. It might be nice to see the source cited in certain areas of the article to show a broader connection between the reference sources and the article. I know this might be kind of specific but it might be interesting to add more information in about the pedestal Athena was placed on. I notice in the image Athena is put on a Ionic column, which could signify information about art during the period the statue was created along with art styles at the time. Also here is a source I found on the pedestal which you might find interesting https://onesearch.library.wwu.edu/primo-explore/fulldisplay?docid=TN_cdi_proquest_journals_1296503329&context=PC&vid=WWU&lang=en_US&search_scope=All&adaptor=primo_central_multiple_fe&tab=everything&query=any,contains,athena%20promachos&offset=0. It might also be interesting to add more information to the article explaining the mythological connection to the imagery that was often depicted on Athena, which could then also be connected to the photos for examples. The reference that were added were great, but maybe it might also be nice to add in references that generally speak about the art of the time period or that focus specifically on sculpture or images of the gods (especially focused on goddesses). Doing this might help add context to the time period around the focus of this work and show how interrelated subject such as the state and religion are in Greece (which would show how works of art like these were created). Here another source I found on a bronze version of Athena https://onesearch.library.wwu.edu/primo-explore/fulldisplay?docid=TN_cdi_proquest_journals_1791608392&context=PC&vid=WWU&lang=en_US&search_scope=All&adaptor=primo_central_multiple_fe&tab=everything&query=any,contains,athena%20promachos&offset=0. I think if you just type the name into the western library website you will find a few more source that will elevate the variety of your information.```
