Corycian Cave

(Provide a link to the article here.)

I chose this topic because I think there are a lot of different subtopics I can discuss in the article. I could talk about the geographical location and its significance, how different groups of humans viewed/used the cave, the Greek myths behind it, and much more. There is just a plethora of things I can talk about and because of that I think I can build a strong and interesting article.

(Briefly explain why you chose it, why it matters, and what your preliminary impression of it was.)

Evaluate the article
Lead Sentence

The lead sentence needs to be changed. All it talks about is the geographic location, when the majority of the article talks more about the Greek mythology behind the cave. The first sentence sets the tone for the article so it needs to be changed to encompass what the article is about as a whole.

Content

The content of this article is a good starting platform. There is some interesting facts on the myths surrounding the cave included, but there is so much more that needs to be added/evaluated about the cave. I can definitely build in much more content into this article.

Tone and Balance

The tone and balance of the article is fair. There are no opinions made and the article is unbiased.

Sources and References

There are acceptable sources in the article. However there are parts of the article that are not cited or cited incorrectly so those will need to be fixed. The article has reputable sources and for the most part is cited correctly.

Organization and Writing Quality

The way the article is written is very concise and effective. The article has such little information that the flow is choppy and seems thrown together, once I add more information it will flow better.

Images and Media

The images included in the article are a good start. There is photos of maps and images of the gods worshipped there. There needs to be more pictures of the actual cave and maybe some maps of surrounding landmarks/cities.

Talk Page Discussion

There are no editors that have talked on my article page but it is a part of WikiProject Greece and WikiProject Geology.

Overall Impression

The article as it sits is a good starting point. There is a good amount of information surrounding the myths of the cave included in the article, but other than that there really is not much, I will need to add a lot more. Stylistically the article is well written and will be a good template for me to expand upon.
