The editors focused on adding more information to the scientific manuscripts of Timbuktu, the evolution of Quranic Calligraphy and Technique, Structure and Order, and the Evolution of Illumination sections. When looking at the addition of the scientific manuscripts of Timbuktu, it clearly flows with the rest of the article. It is evident that the separate subcategory from the scientific manuscripts section is necessary. The scientific manuscripts sections give more detail of the manuscripts that do not apply to all of the manuscripts. It is convenient that there are so many other wikipedia articles linked in the sections which allows the reader to have access to more relevant information. In the last line of this section it states “Timbuktu Manuscripts are unique due to the sheer volume of manuscripts discovered and their wide range of concepts including concepts of philosophy that contradicted common ideas about Islamic Framework.” This section could be strengthened by expanding on what makes Timbuktu Manuscripts unique and how discussing the function behind the meaning. The evolution of the illumination section also develops the article a lot more. It is clear and concise and is well-written. The sources that are used seem to all be secondary peer-reviewed sources. Something that distracted me as the reader was the headings are all not the same font size, which is an easy fix that will help not take away from the writing
