Evaluate the drafted changes
Lead

-The lead so far hasn't been updated. Maybe try to add something new to the lead so the one that is officially published at the moment could be updated.

Content

-The content that has been added is very relevant to the topic about the Yiddish language and is up-to-date. There is a section about vowels but maybe to balance it out, a section about consonants could be added to the article draft. There is a section about the origin/history of Yiddish, but maybe more could be added since it's only one sentence at the moment. Maybe add a section about phonology since there isn't much about it in the published version as well as about the writing system.

Tone and Balance

-The article draft so far is neutral and does not show any opinions or bias regarding the Yiddish language.

Sources and References

-Everything that was added is backed up with a source and is cited properly/correctly in the article. Although this is the case, the sources themselves are not very recent and they date back to the late 1980's. Maybe try to find sources that are more recent to provide the reader with information that is more up to date. It will also help with having more diversity within the references section. The links at the bottom where the references section is work pretty well. I like how there is also a bibliography section on top of there being a references section.

Organization

-The content that has been added so far is clear and well written. There are a couple grammatical errors, but nothing too crazy. The one thing I did see that should get fixed was a sentence that was written out word for word twice in two different sections. It could have been a mistake that was made when moving the sentence from one section to another. Other than that, the content is well organized and broken down into sections that reflect the major points of the topic.

Images and Media

-At the moment, there are no pictures/images in the article draft. Maybe later on, try to add some images, but not too many since there is already quite a few in the officially published article.

Overall Impressions

-In my opinion, the content added has improved the article even though not much has been added. Some of the strengths of the article are that everything that was added was cited and that the information is well written without being too difficult to understand by the reader. The content can be improved by adding more information to the sections they have started writing about already and adding more current information/sources.
