I chose this article because the name stuck out to me and seemed unique. It's a piece of cultural history from the Middle Ages.

Evaluate the article
The first few sentences of the lead section concisely explain what the Raven Banner is, but then the description quickly transforms into conjectures and theories. The following content is well written and relevant. After explaining the cultural significance of the raven, which provides context to the banner's own significance, the author delves into various accounts of said banner throughout history. The article reads with a neutral tone, and there is an absence of any "equity gaps." However, the author makes a number of conjectures throughout the article concerning meanings and purposes. The article contains a wealth of citations from relevant sources, the most modern of which is from 2005. The sections are easy to navigate and divided sensibly; the article reads clearly and concisely. The images accompanying the text are well captioned, and they are also relevant to the topic. There are several images from the Bayeux Tapestry that depict the Raven Banner. There are a number of posts in the Talk page that offer constructive criticism toward the page, provide new references and images, and even talk about the article being promoted to the status of "Good Article." Overall the article is very informative, interesting, and well-written. I would consider it to be complete, unless there are more references to the Raven Banner out there. My main criticism or advice would be for the author to either remove their theories from the main content entirely or place them in their own section toward the end of the article.
