Evaluate the article
This article was written with excellent organization, a neutral tone, and images that depicted ideas described in the article. There are some shortcomings also worth mentioning:

- The introduction was concise, but the article claims to be about tactics in fencing when a better phrase to describe the content of the article would be techniques in fencing.

- There were only 2 sources used for the article with both source links leading to an error page.

- It was also disappointing to see that the content of the writing was so superficial. For the parry section of the article, only one of the many types of parries were mentioned.

- The talk page discussion is fairly short with only 4 comments. Most of them were relating to the tactics vs techniques problem with the first comment dating back to 2010.

Overall, I think the article is a good template for further detailed writing.
