 * Tycho Brahe
 * We're currently studying him, and I thought he had a particularly interesting life, especially considering Uraniborg.

Lead

 * Guiding questions


 * Yes, it lists basic biographical info about him and quickly mentions his roles and what he is most notable for
 * Mostly. The lead is more a brief summary of his life as a whole which implicitly covers the major topics, except for the third one, titled "legacy"
 * Not from what I can tell
 * I believe it is concise.

Content

 * Guiding questions


 * Yes
 * The content was most recently updated only 2 years ago, and nearly all of the sources are from the 1990s to today
 * All of the major details of his life and work appear to be here, and nothing stands out as misplaced
 * No

Tone and Balance

 * Guiding questions


 * Yes, it is not taking a stance and is only disseminating information. The article is very biographical, and not opinionated in terms of the authors work.
 * No
 * No
 * No

Sources and References

 * Guiding questions


 * Yes, nearly every sentence has a citation itself
 * There are a few dozen different, so I believe it is representative of available literature
 * Yes, most from the past 30 years
 * It does seem so, since there are many different authors who have been cited
 * Yes

Organization

 * Guiding questions


 * Yes, it's not cumbersome to read at all
 * Not that I can tell
 * Yes. Tycho's life, career, and legacy are broken up from one another, and each is further broken up into major parts

Images and Media

 * Guiding questions


 * Several
 * Yes, they are enlightening without being too wordy
 * All images are cited
 * Yes, in the margins as not to disturb the flow of reading

Checking the talk page

 * Guiding questions


 * A few on grammar, and one on a person in Tycho's life
 * It is a delisted good article, and is a class B for multiple wikiprojects and a C for another
 * It is a little more brief on some subjects, but more detailed in others. For example, Tycho's nose has a whole subsection where it just got little more than a mention in class.

Overall impressions

 * Guiding questions


 * I believe the article is overall informative, well-written, and cited well.
 * Tone and citations.
 * I believe it could be a more thorough, it focuses a lot on his life, and could focus more on his work.
 * I believe it is well developed
