Article Evaluation

Bishop's Palace, Kraków

Generally this article includes relevant, unbiased information, but its content is lacking in scope. While it does include adequate information regarding the building's association to Saint Pope John Paul II, it says very little about the architecture of the building, or the building's importance in the medieval history of Kraków. The citation are accurate and link to active webpages, but many of the sources used are limited in scope and reliability. There are other, better sources available in English, and very many sources in Polish which could easily be translated by someone with proficient knowledge of Polish (like myself). This article is listed as a class C article in multiple wiki projects including Poland, Catholicism, and Architecture/Historic Houses. There is nothing on the talk page and it appears most of the article was created in 2012.

Jalousie window

A major weakness of this article is a lack of citations. Most of the article was completed between 2007 and 2009, and in the past 10 years a lot of information about the jalousie window has come about due to the popularity of "retro" design. The article needs to have information about the mechanism of the jalousie window, which is arguably something that makes them unique and interesting. I have a jalousie window in my current house and am able to photograph, sketch, and explain how the window actually works.
