Article evaluation
The article evaluation used the Wikipedia entry on the galliard, a Renaissance dance.

Evaluating content
The galliard article is very on topic. Nothing distracts the reader away from the actual galliard dance and music. Furthermore, information seems to be accurate on the surface, and fully up-to-date. One amenable change would be to expand the section "Musical form" to include more details about the rhythm and character of the pieces styled after the original dance. As it stands, this section seems too short and not informative enough.

Evaluating tone
The article mentions both proponents and opponents of the galliard (Queen Elizabeth of England was a proponent; "some dancing masters" though it inappropriate). The only questionable tone occurs when the author says that "the galliard was a favorite dance of Queen Elizabeth." I would want to see a solid source immediately behind this statement before I used such strong phrasing of insight.

Evaluating sources
The sources used were in print only, but the ISBN numbers appeared to be correct. Due to the nature of the sources, I was unable to determine whether or not they supported the article's claims. Not all facts are followed by a reference, but the references found appear to be reliable and unbiased sources.

Checking the talk page
The only conversation on the talk page concerns whether or not the galliard is an improvisatory dance. Multiple anonymous comments suggest that it is not, but there is no reply to them.

The article is part of the WikiProject Dance, in which it has a quality rating of C. Its importance is unrated.
