 * Hippocratic Corpus
 * I have chosen this article because early medicine is interesting to me. Having written my paper for this class over the Hippocratic Corpus, I felt as though this were a good choice of article because of my base knowledge on the topic already.

Lead


The introduction sentence leading into the Lead section briefly describes the Hippocratic Corpus' being. The Lead explains the upcoming major sections of the article, and links to other sources for further research. It is concise with only a few sentences.

Content


The article's content is relevant to the topic and is up-to date. All content reported presents meaningful information to the topic and there seems as if there are no parts missing from it. The article does not seem to address anything related to historically underrepresented populations.

Tone and Balance

 * Guiding questions

The article remains neutral with no evidence of bias. The article is concise and informative, not wanting to persuade any opinion in any way. There are multiple viewpoint addressed within the article.

Sources and References

 * Guiding questions

There are currently 52 sources that support claims within the article, all of which seem reliable. The sources are somewhat out of date (the oldest being from 1891 and the newest from 2012), but they each seem to reflect the overall theme of the article. The authors of the sources seem to be diverse: both genders and multiple ethnicities are represented. The few links I checked worked.

Organization

 * Guiding questions

The article seems well-written and too-the-point with grammatical or spelling errors (that I could find). It is broken down into sensible topics that are both informative of the topic as a whole and concise.

Images and Media

 * Guiding questions

There are only three pictures within the extensive article which display images of artifacts mentioned. Of the three, only one includes a caption that describes its image. None are especially visually appealing in layout. The images appear to adhere to copyright regulations.

Checking the talk page

 * Guiding questions

The conversations on the Talk page address the need for adding images and expanding certain subsections of the article. The article is listed as a level-4 vital article in Art and is rated as C-Class. It is also included in WikiProjects Medicine, Greece, Classical Greece and Rome, and History of Science. Aside from being studied in the history of science, the Hippocratic Corpus is also addressed in it relation to classical Greece and Rome.

Overall impressions

 * Guiding questions

The article is ranked at C-Class, meaning it has adjustments to be made. Although the article is strong in its sources and brevity, I think that more images need to be added and certain sections need to be added to. The article overall is well-developed, it just needs to be perfected.
