Article Evaluation: Cologne Cathedral

Overall this article was fairly decent. The Article has some good information concerning the building and the importance of the building in history. It explains the reasons for its creation and as a varied amount of information pertaining to the Cathedral over a large span of its history. The overall information is rather balanced but it was very distracting how it failed explain why it was never finished or why construction stopped. There is over 400 years of information missing between from the time it was started to becoming a finished piece of work.Why did it take 400 years to finish? Why did it take so long to build and why was there so many pauses in the construction process? Also, it seemed to focus on the history that happened around the building then, the building itself.

Source Evaluation:

Viewing many of the sources; many of them lead to different sites all relating to the topic. Allow there were a few that lead to the same site and only one or two that said that "the source couldn't be found". The sites that did work though pertained to the topic very well.

Tone Evaluation:

The tone of the article was unbiased but was focused a little to much on the events of that took place at the Cathedral during modern day. It need to have more information pertaining to was was built onto it up to the 16th century and why it took so long to come back and complete the work.

Talk Evaluation:

There is much that has been talked about pertaining to this article. There is so much debate on when it first started construction to the size and wight ratio of the Cathedral. There are a few comments that talk about the article as a whole and what was right and wrong about the article.
