Lead


 * I’m assuming you are adding on to the pre-existing article and what’s in your sandbox are just your edits, which is why there is no introduction section
 * Good introductory statements to each section though

Content


 * The information you’ve added seems to address the missing content gaps in the original articles (properties, characterization, and applications)
 * Could maybe use some more applications; even just mentions of them with a quick sentence to explain them or a link to another wiki page
 * Like that the applications includes what the copolymers are used for
 * Content seems up to date; especially the characterization section; lots of techniques are mentioned with really good explanations of them (what they do; what they reveal about the copolymers)

Tone and Balance


 * Overall seems pretty neutral, but definitely focuses more on the advantages of copolymers and how their useful with little mention to any disadvantages (ie do they undesirable high syntheses conditions, any limitations etc)
 * Good balance of content; especially in the properties section; you cover each major property pretty equally
 * Again; could use more applications; ideally one small section for each type of copolymer that is mentioned in the original wikipedia article (or just the ones that are the most relevant and widely used)

Sources and References


 * Good range of sources; most of which are pretty up to date
 * Seem to be from peer-reviewed, reputable scientific journals
 * Links work!

Organization


 * Well organized between the different properties, characterization and applications; easy to see the flow of information
 * Good introductory statements to each section
 * Information is well laid out, concise, and easy to read for the most part
 * Written in language that is easy to understand and digestible even if you don’t have much previous knowledge on polymers/copolymers

Images and media


 * Don’t see any images on the sandbox or many on the wikipedia page in general; could use some to illustrate the different copolymer patterns, some relating to the properties, or to show the different sues of the copolymers (figures to show the materials made with different kinds of copolymers)

Overall Impressions


 * Looks good; seems to have a very good understanding of the topic, and what you have included so far seems to improve the wiki article a lot!
