Article Evaluation titled Allegory of the Cave

The article is part of 3 wikiprojects, all of which are part of the start-class. As I was scrolling through the talk page I noticed several negative comments about the article. People seemed to think the content and grammar were not up to parr. In class we evaluated more of what we thought plato meant by the allegory of the cave not so much what the allegory was. This article explains the allegory but doesn't represent all sides of what people may think. Also the article states that all the prisoners were freed at once from the cave, however, the video we watched in class showed only one slave escaping which was a large part in understanding the allegory. Another downside of this article was that it did not start with an overview. At the end there was a summary that stated only one prisoner escaped in Plutos story. This contradicted what the author had stated earlier, which confused me very much. I definitely think this article can use more detail, description and examples of how this allegory can be represented. I did click on several links and references that were provided, they did work, however they turned out to be other wikipedia pages. This article needs more reliable sources.

Adding to an article

As an historical period the greatness of the Han China is especially marked, among other things, by its unprecedented achievements in trade and expansion. The creation of the Silk Route and the opening of the northwestern passage to Central Asia, though of paramount historical significance,constitute but a small part of the while story.
