Hugo Riemann

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose to evaluate this article because I am interested in music theory, and I have heard of Riemannian Theory.

Evaluate the article
Lead section: The lead section is concise and hints at most of the major sections in this article.

Content: The article’s content is widespread, and so it feels a little too surface-level at times. Especially since there isn’t much content compared to other articles, it lacks essence.

Tone and balance: The article has a little bit of bias by claiming that Riemann was “one of the most influential music theorists.”  Although some of his theories and revelations are well known, I’m not too sure that this claim can be proven with just the information in the article.

Sources and references: There are only six references, only three of which are cited within the article. This part of the article could use some work.

Organization and writing quality: This article is fairly easy to read, but it’s mainly because it is so short.

Images and media: The image of Hugo Riemann is relevant and displayed in a good manner. However, because it is public domain in the country of the image’s origin, it needs to have a U.S. public domain tag.

Talk page discussion: There’s not much discussion on the Talk page of Hugo Riemann.  Whatever discussion is on there is very old.

Overall impressions: This article needs more work to really be a comprehensive summary of Hugo Riemann. It is a C-class article, so it has plenty of room to grow. It needs more content, more sources, and a bit of a more professional tone to improve its quality.
