All of the information in this article is relevant to the topic, the topic is clearly broken down into its many different sub topics/related elements. The author(s) did a good job of including a breadth of information on Yiddish orthography, ranging from the history of the language and its transformation, to graphic innovation and computerized text production of Yiddish. I do not feel that there is an element that should be further discussed nor is there an additional sub heading that should have been included.

All sources are clearly cited at the bottom of the article, support the content of the article, and are working links. The sources appear reputable, coming from a range of authors and reputable publications. The varied and numerous references also ensures that the article is unbiased, and accounts for a range of viewpoints. Many terms and referenced works are also hyperlinked throughout the article, at an approximate rate of one link per paragraph.

The information in some cases is "out of date" but as there is no more modern version to be accounted for, it is completely understandable and cannot be improved upon.

Upon checking out the "talk" page of the article, no conversations are taking/have taken place. This leads me to believe that most visitors to the page have been satisfied with the representation of this topic.

One minor improvement that could be made, although is entirely understandable due to circumstances, is the translation. Certain words are spelled in hebrew and are not followed by a phonetic spelling of them (such as shalom aleychem in the "reform and standardization" section.) For those that do not know the hebrew alphabet or how to read hebrew, this example is meaningless. The author does try and explain the difference between the two hebrew spellings offered, but I still feel that the initial example should be followed by its phonetics in parenthesis.

Additionally, while a definition of the yiddish words being mentioned do not need to be explained for the purpose of understanding the orthography, I do feel that someone who knows their meaning has an advantage. Thus, I would also suggest adding an english translation of the term, if it exists.
