Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I choose the article about ancient Greek religion because it is interesting to me. I enjoy learning about ancient civilization, but religion is one aspect that fascinates me the most. i know the basics about some Greek religions but I know that my knowledge is incomplete, and could even possibly be wrong.

Evaluate the article
-The formatting of the article is well done and easy to follow with appropriate headers.

-The leading paragraph gives good insight about the article, however, just reading the lead paragraph does not inform readers about the rest of the paragraphs to come. It would be beneficial to give a brief breakdown of what the later paragraphs will be about.

-I had no issues with the content provided, but in the talk board other users do point out some contradictions that were made within the article that may need to be reviewed.

-The sections about sacrifice and rites of passage felt unbalanced. There was a lot of information about sacrifices, more than any other section, yet sacrifice is not the most important thing about Greek religion. This plethora of information becomes very jarring when compared with the section on rites of passage. That section was the smallest and did not even have a proper paragraph dedicated to it. The section should have more substance and explain how rites of passage related to Greek religion instead of just mentioning a few different rites.

-The references section was small and two of the four references were by the same person, however the further reading section was significantly larger which made up for the reference section. I will need to be further educated on the difference between theses two sections.

-The images used did enhance what was being explained in the article and the images were from proper sources.

-The article was well written an easy to read. The information flowed well and made sense. The sections did not feel out of place nor did any information stand out as being biased or false.
