 * What are the strengths of the content added? The content added gives the entire article a better, all-encompassng picture and gives the reader an idea of the big picture topics surrounding it.
 * How can the content added be improved? I think that the content added could just be elaborated on a bit, giving a little more depth about these things, why the way they are, and how they came to be.

Overall evaluation
Overall, I think that the pieces added to this article are off to a great start and once the editor adds more detail to the additions they are making, they will be greatly improving the article, giving readers a much better look at Amaterasu.
