Article Evaluation: English alphabet


 * The sentence involving the ISO Latin alphabet seems out of place in the beginning. While it is relevant, I think it should be relocated to a different section.
 * The information in the Old English section is interesting, but there is not much there.
 * There needs to be more citations in the Old English section-I've counted only one.
 * The article contains a total of seven references-there needs to be far more than that.
 * The amount of information needs to increase. Overall, there is just not a ton of information on the alphabet.
 * There are some areas where the references to sources are too general.
 * The tone appears to be neutral, which is good.
 * There is a large amount of reference to the Latin alphabet, which may count as bias.
 * The Old English alphabet seems a little underrepresented, and the Latin alphabet overrepresented.
 * Some of the links in the article seem to work fairly well. For a few, the computer does not seem to want to bring them up.
 * There are not enough reliable resources. Some appear to be dictionary definitions. Two are from books, and they seem alright.
 * Most sources appear to be non-biased. There just aren't that many.
 * Most of the Talk seems to be concerned with the content/subject matter in the article.
 * This article is C-class, and there are four Wikiprojects interested in it.
 * It is interesting how lively some of the conversations seem, and yet how focused on the problems that can be.

Bibliography:

Beginning of English alphabet section: Origin

Add both sources 1 and 2 to Old English section Done

Add source 3 to Modern English section or start section on Middle English.

Editing suggestions:

In Modern English section, change end of second sentence('Latin...old-fashioned'). It sounds kind of biased. Done.

The sentence Written English digraphs and its examples does not really seem to fit in the section it is in. Move to letters section? Don't move, it is okay where it is.

Move Some traditions...alphabet to ligatures section. Done.
