Brizlee Tower

Article Evaluation

Evaluating content:

Most of the information within the article did seem relevant although the information leaned heavily on the Towers location and surrounding area which was quite distracting when the reader is looking to learn more about the tower itself. The provided information doesn't appear to be too out of date, the the history of the tower itself has nearly a 200 year gap from around the time the tower was built (completed in 1781) to when in was given a "grade 1 listing" in 1969. Surely something must have happened during this long stretch of time in-between.

Evaluating tone:

By all means, the tone of this article is very neutral and doesn't seems to propose any biased claims. The viewpoint of the location and surrounding area of the tower is definitely over-represented while information on things such as how, why and by who the tower was built, is nearly nonexistent.

Evaluating sources:

After looking through some of the citations, the links work although some of the information is no longer available (and thus completely useless), and the majority of the links are maps or descriptions of the area surrounding the tower and not the tower itself. Nearly half of the websites lead to an empty page and the rest provide little to no information on the tower at all. Though the information may be reliable with some, with so many citation links not available, its nearly impossible to figure out what is fact or fiction. Since its mostly maps or accounts of the area of which the tower is situated, the sources are neutral and don't appear to be biased.

Checking the talk page:

There isn't much on the talk page but there is a comment on a possible translation error as well as how two of the external links have been modified. This article is also apart of the WikiProjects of North East England, Architecture, and Historic Sites (all rated c-class and of low importance). The talk page is pretty empty so there is little to discuss or go off of. It at least appears that very few Wikipedians are interested in the Brizlee Tower.

Article Selection
Sainte-Chapelle

This article could definitely be improved upon because I already own a very reliable Art History notebook that includes Sainte-Chapelle and provides more context and can clear up some references made in the article, as well as possibly fix some information that I noticed were starkly different between what the textbook had written. Overall, I feel that I could greatly expand and improve upon this article with the sources that I have.

Santa Maria del Campo

This would be an excellent article to be improved upon especially since the entire article is only about 4 sentences and terribly written. The writing itself is poor and contains many grammar mistakes, as well as being mostly irrelevant and nonsensical. The only source they are using was from a tourist website that is also sparse but does have much more information than what the article provided. On the other hand, there seems to be a lot more information on the Italian Wikipedia. So it would be fairly simple to look at the sources of the Italian articles, translate them to English, look at other reliable sources, and write up an article that is much more in-depth compared to the very sad article that it is right now. I think that this is definitely the article that I would like to select to expand upon.

Palais d'York

This is another example of an article with little information at all (in English at least). Also from a quick search there appears to some good information available on the internet about this site which would mean that i could expand upon this article substantially.

Sainte-Chapelle
On August 18 as the treasure reached the edge of Paris, King Louis IX carried the relic, while barefoot, through the streets to the royal palace.

History
Santa María Del Campo was rebuilt in 1440 in the Lombard-Gothic style, having already existed in the 12th century under the name of Saint Maria of the Perch. The church is located in the highest area of the town at more than 800 meters above sea level. The boundaries of the municipality of Santa María del Campo are established in approximately 60 square kilometers, and includes the town of Escuderos (with a current population of about 650 inhabitants) under its administration.

Architecture
Santa María Del Campo was built in a Latin cross plan consisting of three naves as well as two chapels on each side. The building itself is comprised of mostly two different construction stages. The part located at the foot of the ships is archaic with its 13th century principles, and has a small cloister dating back to 1425. In Bishop Acuña's time at the end of the 15th century, it became a new more slender and luminous head with a cover in each end of the cruise. Among one of the greatest works of this church is the monumental tower built by Diego de Siloe in 1527 having defeated Felipe Vigarny in the contest called for its construction. The entrance to the church is covered with a barrel vault with casetones, and is flanked, externally, by half Corinthian columns, which leaves space for niches in which statues are placed. The church has a total of three entrances with the main one located under the tower and the other two located in the cruise. The northern portal was carved beginning in the 16th century. The choir was dismantled in 1757 and moved to the central nave. The masonry at the end of the 15th century, is decorated with a series of geometric motifs of an advanced Gothic style. The presbytery is located at a higher level compared to the rest of the church. Attached to one of the transept pillars is a plaster pulpit that was built during the beginning of the 16th century.

Art
The very simple yet elegant interior hosts interesting paintings, frescoes and stuccoes by local artists of the 16th and 17th centuries, including the work of Giovanni Battista Crespi (Mercy and Musiciant Angels) and the Madonna del latte by Tommasino from Mortara which is an object of great devotion, following some miracles that were attributed to Her .The main altarpiece was created by José Valdán and Joaquín de Villandiego in the 18th century. Six painting boards of different altarpieces were assembled in order to form the current altar of the trascoro, in front of the main entrance door to the church. The tables of the Degollación of San Juan Bautista and The Baptism of Christ are works of Pedro Berruguete.

Holidays
March 18 to 19, a festival is celebrated in honor of San José.

In mid-August the patron saint festivities take place in honor of Our Lady of the Assumption and of San Roque.

Pilgrimage of Our Lady of Squires, held on September 24.
