I believe the lead does not dive into the subject. Sure, it touches the main idea, and does the explaining later but I feel like some more exposition could be laid out. Sort of more the impacts or why the Mass smallpox was important. I guess what I am saying is there could probably be more lead.

The content seems up to date. The content is on topic, but I wonder if maybe there is more to the story than just smallpox and what effects there were. Is it Mass smallpox only because it was in Massachusetts? If so that's fine and makes a lot of sense itself.

The content seems unbiased and mostly based on factual evidence.

The sources are paired with the evidence and seem to be correct, and have working hyperlinks. I would like to ask as to why the sandbox draft has less sources than the actual page. There are many diverse authors.

The content is well organized and very easy to read, and sectioned off well.

The images add some depth to the article and I like them. The map of the territory of the Wampanoags is very useful. The images fit well with their sections and are meaningful. I wonder if there are any more pictures of historical sites or even paintings of the epidemic.

I look forward to seeing what this group may add, it seems like they will add some valuable information, which may explain why their is less sources in the sandbox compared to the main page (meaning the articles in the sandbox are from the group, assuming of course).
