Lead
Guiding questions:


 * Has the Lead been updated to reflect the new content added by your peer? No. The lead sums up it's subject in a very concise manner, however it seems a bit short. Maybe 1 - 2 more sentences should be added.
 * Does the Lead include an introductory sentence that concisely and clearly describes the article's topic? Yes, however the leads introductory sentence is the only sentence in the whole lead.
 * Does the Lead include a brief description of the article's major sections? Yes. It includes a "Contents box".
 * Does the Lead include information that is not present in the article? No.
 * Is the Lead concise or is it overly detailed? Very Concise. One sentence long with a Contents box.

Lead evaluation
The lead does its' job of summing up Capricorn Records but it does so very concisely and is too short and could use at least 1 more sentence if not 2.

Content
Guiding questions:


 * Is the content added relevant to the topic? yes.
 * Is the content added up-to-date? Yes. It includes the recent studio renovation and reopening.
 * Is there content that is missing or content that does not belong? Yes. in the "Economic and Cultural Impact" section, there is section about Phil Walden's BBQ and Summer games that appears twice. The original reference does belong but the repeated one does not.

Content evaluation
The content covers the full spectrum of Capricorn Record from founding to the 50th anniversary reopening. Label closings, changes, and artists are also included. The content is very in-depth and organized in a clear chronological manner.

Tone and Balance
Guiding questions:


 * Is the content added neutral? Yes. The Content seems to be strictly informational.
 * Are there any claims that appear heavily biased toward a particular position? No. Everything seems informational and balanced.
 * Are there viewpoints that are overrepresented, or underrepresented? Total records recorded at the studio seems to be underrepresented. Newer successful albums are mentioned but a brief mention of famous Allman Brothers' albums or Otis Redding albums recorded there would be more fitting and representing of the musical history. No over representation detected.
 * Does the content added attempt to persuade the reader in favor of one position or away from another? No. It is strictly informational.

Tone and balance evaluation
The tone is informational the balance is very even. Just a bit more info on the more famous artist and what albums they recorded there is needed.

 * Are the sources thorough - i.e. Do they reflect the available literature on the topic? Sources are thorough and are credible on the topic.

Sources are plenty and reflect the available literature on the topic. In text citations need to be fixed.

Organization
Guiding questions:


 * Is the content added well-written - i.e. Is it concise, clear, and easy to read? yes. The content is very in-depth and organized in a clear chronological manner.
 * Does the content added have any grammatical or spelling errors? Not that I could tell. One small sentence about Phil Walden's BBQ and Summer games is erroneously repeated. Second mention should be deleted.
