Emilie Mayer
(Provide a link to the article here.)

I was assigned this article, it matters because she is a prominent figure in music history. My preliminary impression of it was that I didn't know who she was.
(Briefly explain why you chose it, why it matters, and what your preliminary impression of it was.)


 * 1) Does the lead include an introductory sentence that concisely and clearly describes the article's topic?

Yes, I can tell from the introductory sentence that the article will be about Emilie Mayer, a German composer who wrote Romantic music

2. Check a few links. Do they work?

Yes, all the links I clicked worked.

3. Is the article well-organized - i.e. broken down into sections that reflect the major points of the topic?

The article is partially well organized. I think for the sake of clarity, her life and career should have been separate sections.

4. Does the article include images that enhance understanding of the topic? Do the images have captions that identify them and the source?

No, the article only contains images of Emilie Mayer. While the article is about her, it is also about her life and career, the pictures should include maybe pictures of her hometown or works. The captions do identify the image and the source.

5. How do you think the article could be improved?

I think the article could be improved by separating the life and career section. I also think better images that reflect her life or serve a greater purpose could be added. I would also gather more than the two sources to provide a more accurate retelling of her life.
