Joseph Hekekyan

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article because I know little about Joseph Hekekyan and wanted to learn about who he was. I also wanted to be able to provide an outside perspective of the article, not knowing much about it. Hekekyan historically changed some of the urban planning in Egypt, and also did some important excavations. The article was lacking in information and sources. Some sentence structures could be improved upon as well.

Evaluate the article
The lead was very short and I think it could be added upon to better layout what the article includes. The early life and education section is lacking as well. Information about where he was born and grew up, who his parents were, all of the education he acquired, etc. would all be good information to include if it is known. I also didn't like how the early life and education section was all one sentence. I think it should be broken up more. The surveyor and planner section was decent. Maybe including a diagram about what the layout might look like would be nice to have for the readers. The archaeologist section was too short too. I would have liked to have information about why the excavations were crucial and what is means to be the first 'stratified' excavation. The article seems unbiased though, as well as organized. Overall, there needs to be more sources and references in order for the article to become more developed.
