Pele (deity)

Article Evaluation of C-Class Alchemy Page
Overall, the tone of the page was neutral. In some places I think it would be better to keep the point of view as 3rd person and not use words like "we" or "our". It had plenty of sources but a good portion of them were out of date. The links did work. The talk page is pretty negative though. People seem to really want this article improved across the board. The last talk entry was in 2012, so it doesn't seem like this page is very popular or monitored. The content of the page itself goes off track in some areas and tries to make connections to things that aren't really related to alchemy, which is a good example of what not to do.

Article Selection
Sun Wukong

Start Class, high importance. Talk page only has two entries, not very active page. The tone in the introduction/background info doesn't sound super formal. Could be reworded for a more neutral tone. Just seems like a summary of the Journey to the West story. I'm sure there's a lot more to him than just that one narrative.

Pele (deity)

Start class, high importance. Talk page has a few entries but page itself not active at all. Seems to be a bit of a debate between the punctuations for the name Pele and whether or not to accent the e. Lots of sources but I'm surprised there isn't a section for hula or chants about her. Chants themselves could be considered mythology because it's an oral tale in itself, some of which about or dedicated to Hawaiian gods and goddesses. There should be a family tree next to her relatives, would be a nice addition. Science section could use some expansion on the different types of lava.

Maui (Hawaiian Mythology)

Start class, no importance rating. Not a lot of info or sources on this page. Not active, only a few short talk entries. Could definitely use more background info.
