Shadirvan

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I am very interested in Arabic architecture as well as the culture and arts of Northern Africa and West Asia. My impression of the article is that while it is short the information seems to be relatively authoritative and is supported by similar information on other pages.

Evaluate the article
The intro of the article provides a good summary of the topic and its origins and significance. There aren't any other sections to detail. The use as decoration is not cited and a better source should be found.

The article has a very neutral tone and simply states information about the Shadirvan in a very unbiased manner.

There are only three citations for the whole article. While the article is around 500 words or less there should be more reliable sources mentioned as a large portion of the introductory paragraph is uncited. All of the included citations come from different authoritative, well researched sources and I have no reason to doubt their validity. \

Discussion on this page is about the lack of citations and if this page should be preserved as it own article or added to the page for mosques. I found this distinction to be interesting, as there is a separate page for the "Christian counterpart" of the Shadirvan which is known as a Cantharus (Christianity). This article is part of a wiki project on Islam so I think that this discussion is likely rather important overall despite the lack of detailed and well cited information available on English Wikipedia.
