Article Evaluation (14-02-2019) Pietro Tacca

 * 1) The information within the article was relevant as it did talk about his major works. It did lack in the history of the personal history of the artist, as it barely talked about his early or later life besides his bronze pieces. Some of the grammar/wording was also a bit confusing to read as it did not flow well.
 * 2) Most of the information seems up to date or recent as there is no informational source that is older than 1975. It might be a good idea to add another source or two to the article so that it does not seem to only be relying solely on one article for information. There needs to be a written/book source for the history of the article, not just a .org website.
 * 3) More citations could be needed as much of the technical information could come from the articles it gets its information from. I find it unlikely most of the information they had they already knew before researching and writing the article.
 * 4) The article overall seems to be neutral up until mentioning a feat of engineering in making the bronze horse's back legs and tail bear the total weight of the statue. It sounded a little biased.
 * 5) On viewpoints it does not seem to really have any, except for maybe one slight bias sentence at the end of the article, but it really focus on the art pieces they made.
 * 6) There are only 4 different sources cited within the writings and the ones that work only link to only the mentioned art pieces or just do not pertain the the exact information of the sentence. The citations are quite poor in reliability as they seem old/underdeveloped/irrelevant.
 * 7) No. I am not exactly sure where most of their information comes from; the two books they reference may be the main sources but are not cited in the work properly and the rest of the information may have come from your average .org website about the artist. They also mention an article that I cannot seem to find because they did not link directly to the article itself. Its likely they mashed the scattered information they could find together without sourcing the information of the artist or any other reliable/to-date online source. Bias was not noted.
 * 8) There are two mentions of changes to the archive, adding what seem to be more reliable historical links than the ones on the page currently.
 * 9) The page is rated a C-class and is part of a Wiki Project Biography.
 * 10) Wikipedia's way of discussing the topic differs from in class is probably by how much and why they mark up the page they do. The new sources would be good to include in the article but it seems like either nobody bothered to do so or that the article had been reverted to a previous version with no mention of it in the talk page.

Sources for Monument to Philip IV of Spain from https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monumento_a_Felipe_IV (14-02-2019)
I want to post some of the Spanish version's sources to look at, potentially for later use when typing up the article and citing sources. Thank you. Rosedalton

Visual Editor Practice
"Paragraph: Set the style of your text. For example, make a header or plain paragraph text. You can also use it to offset block quotes."A : Highlight your text, then click here to format it with bold, italics, etc. The “More” options allows you to und e rline (U), cross-out text ( S ), add code snippets ( { } ), change language keyboards (Aあ), and clear all formatting ( ⃠ ).

Links: Highlight text and push this button to make it a link. The Visual Editor will automatically suggest related Wikipedia articles for that word or phrase. This is a great way to connect your article to more Wikipedia content. You only have to link important words once, usually during the first time they appear. If you want to link to pages outside of Wikipedia (for an “external links” section, for example) click on the “External link” tab. (Did that)

Cite: The citation tool in the Visual Editor helps format your citations. You can simply paste a DOI or URL, and the Visual Editor will try to sort out all of the fields you need. Be sure to review it, however, and apply missing fields manually (if you know them). You can also add books, journals, news, and websites manually. That opens up a quick guide for inputting your citations. Once you've added a source, you can click the “re-use” tab to cite it again. (did that too)

Bullets: To add bullet points or a numbered list, click here. (did that)

Insert: This tab lets you add media, images, or tables. (done it)

Ω: This tab allows you to add special characters, such as those found in non-English words, scientific notation, and a handful of language extensions. ÷÷÷÷÷÷
