Rachel's Peer Review of Similarity Systems of Triangles
Lead section: Your images relate very well to the content and aided me in understanding what was meant by each of the various components of the definition given in the lead section. Good use of linking for the term configuration as well. Another set of words for which a link would aid the reader is "incidence relation." I would also suggest rewording the final sentence to improve the flow because I lost track of what was being discussed after reading what must be true. Consider splitting this into two sentences or by saying "In sum, a configuration is a similarity system when..." followed by the necessary properties. This lead section does indeed highlight the main points relating to similarity systems and provides context within which to understand the rest of the article. It is balanced, neutral information which is cited and linked to increase its credibility. Good work!

Structure: The structure of the article is clear and logical. The reader starts with a definition, hears of the history, and then sees multiple examples which is a logical order which makes sense for the topic. One suggestion I have relates to the images in the article. Is there anyway to arrange them in such a way that the text is in a more uniform block for each section? The text seems to be snaking around the pictures and can be slightly distracting to the reader.

Balanced content: Each section of the article is fairly equal in length which I believe to be appropriate given each section is of equal importance to the topic being discussed. Each topic is discusses in a light matching that of the resources, giving an unbiased and neutral tone to the work. Each source is credible and is related in significant ways to the content. Based on my small amount of knowledge of the topic, I do not believe that any major viewpoints are neglected in this article. No particular viewpoint or stance is being pushed or relied more heavily upon in this article either, which adds to its credibility.

Neutral content: As I said before, the information is stated in a neutral, informative manner. The author does not seem to have a positive or negative view of the content, which points to the well-written, objective style of the article. No original research is included, evident from the thorough citations, and no claims or unwarranted generalizations are made about an persons or groups involved with the topic. This article checks all of the boxes for neutral, unbiased content and I have no suggestions in this regard.

Sources: The sources are all published authors; no blogs, vague websites, or personal pages are cited as sources of information. Two of the sources are scholarly articles, which is a strength of this article. One issue I see with the sources is that the first article cited by Mauldon is very heavily relied on for most of the article. It is the only citation in the Examples section and comprises the majority of the citations for the rest of the article. Is there any other source for cross-referencing this content? I do understand that this is a highly specified area of content, so other sources may be challenging to access or find and therefore this may be your primary citation for the article. Also, the content is well-cited, not leaving any content un-cited or incorrectly cited.

Overall, this is a very well written, informative article which was helpful in learning about Similarity Systems. The examples and images included where extremely effective in building my knowledge of the content and thinking about these systems. With a few small tweaks mentioned above, I think the article will be ready to publish on the web. Good Job!!

Similarity Systems of Triangles
Hi I cleaned the article up a bit to create a lede. I posted the examples into a gallery. They are fairly small, reduced in size due to the gallery semantics but I have posted a question up at WP:HELP to get them made bigger with the gallery. Hope that helps.  scope_creep Talk  02:03, 6 January 2019 (UTC)

→Hello! Thank you very much for doing this. A-carter.2 (talk) 02:09, 6 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks. It's a really nice article, and worth working on. The help has arrived and fixed the size issue for the image, you can examine them properly, now that they are a decent size. Hope that helps.  scope_creep Talk  12:34, 6 January 2019 (UTC)
