Lead

Short and sweet lead section. I think for the size of the article it's good as-is.

Content

I think the decision to include the Palace and its details as its own section is a really good move and I think the content you've added is fantastic!

Tone and Balance

I can't find any flaws with the tone or balance. If anything the only suggestion I might have in this department would be to include more unbalanced perspectives. Like if there is any disagreement over the purposes of anything at the site or over the interpretations of anything at the site. Also maybe include something about how Minoan "palaces" have been argued that they aren't really "palaces" and that has just been the name that has stuck, since that has a lot of baring on your article.

Sources and References

You've used a lot of [citation needed] as placeholders which I thoroughly appreciate. I think you should definitely do your best to fill those in but the originally article was criminally under cited. Well done in labelling those and in getting the five additional sources added to the article.

Organization

You've improved the original article quite a bit by adding the Palace section. My only suggestion here would be to condense some of the smaller one and two sentence paragraphs into larger paragraphs for easier reading and less of a 'stubby' feeling article.

Images and Media

I know you said you don't plan on including any more images but if you were able to find a map of the site or a top-down view, even if you were able to take it from a satellite image (I do not know the legality of this suggestion), I think that would add a lot to the article.

Overall Impressions

The improvements are great! Small articles like this are hard because they typically include as much information as is already out there so anything you can do to expand them is good! Keep up the great work and good luck with the rest of the work!
