Qubba

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article because it has cited sources, but is relatively short in length. The length made me curious to see if the content is thorough and well written.

Evaluate the article

 * The lead paragraph is concise and descriptive, but the last sentence is difficult to understand. I would reword it to say "In many regions, such as North Africa, the term 'qubba' commonly refers to the tomb of a local wali (a local Muslim saint) or marabout. It usually consists of a chamber covered by a dome or pyramidal cupola", for the purpose of clarity
 * The content is relevent and gives significant information.
 * Written in a neutral tone that gives various examples of Qubba in different locations.
 * Valid sources that mostly consists of books and encyclopedias.
 * Wide variety of sources for the length of the article, but the author mostly focused on information in sources 1, 2, and 3. Consider gathering more information from different sources.
 * Good organization, however, the "In Yazidism" section is very short and doesn't give enough information for it to be on its own.
 * Some sentences need clarifying, for example, "A well-known example of an Islamic domed shrine is the Dome of the Rock, known in Arabic as Qubbat aṣ-Ṣakhra (Arabic: قُبَّةُ ٱلْصَّخْرَة), although this particular monumental example is exceptional in early Islamic architecture." This sentence is lengthy and hard to follow.
 * Images are clear and well captioned with concise descriptions.
 * This article is rated as "Start-class"
 * The talk page has one post from a editor who questions some of the connections made in the article. They cite this correction with a source.
 * This article is at a good starting point. It has all the basic information, but could use more expansion and more thorough research. It provides the basic knowledge, but if further expanded upon with more images and examples, it would be more helpful.
