Lead Section

The lead clearly establishes that the town of Cincinnatus is a small town named after a roman general. The article also includes a brief summary of the major sections while also not including information that is not in the article. The lead also doesn't use more detail than needed.

Content

The articles content is relevant to the topic. The content isn't entirely up-to-date as the population was last updated in 2020. There is no content missing or content that doesn't belong. The article does not deal with equality gaps and does not address underrepresented populations.

Tone and Balance

The article is neutral, with no claims that appear heavily biased. There are no viewpoints that are overrepresented or underrepresented. The article does not attempt to persuade the reader one way or the other.

Sources and References

All of the facts in the article are backed up by a reliable source of info. The sources are not current but that is because the article is kind of dated. The sources are not written by a diverse set spectrum of authors. There are a few links that do work to check references.

Organization and Writing Quality

The article is well written while also being concise and easy to read. The article does not have any grammatical or spelling errors that I can find. The article is well organized and broken down into sections that make sense.

Images and Media

The article includes images that enhance the understanding of the topic, the images are properly captioned. The images all adhere to Wikipedia's copyright regulations. In my opinion the images are laid out in a visually appealing way.

Talk page discussion

There is no conversation going on behind the scenes of the article. The way Wikipedia talks about this topic in comparison to how I talk about it is a lot more educated.

Overall Impressions

The articles strengths are explaining the history behind the town. The article can be improved by providing more images of the town rather than specifically a farm. I believe the article is well-developed.
