This is an awesome article! Super well researched, well organized, and well sourced. My only real suggestion is to read through for little grammatical or spelling mistakes (which I'm confident you were going to do anyway). But some that I noticed were the repetition of "The etymology of this word goes further back" in the Etymology section, "Mule's history as we know [it]" from the History section, and "[In] Eighth Century Egypt and [In] Iran" in your Eastern Examples. I don't mean to be hypocritical - goodness knows I probably have more mistakes than you! - I just know that sometimes it can be hard to notice little things when you spend so much time on something. To fit Wikipedia's guidelines, you could try for a longer lead section, but you have the basics in yours now. The gallery you're going to add will (I think) count as a "special feature" and go to the overall "images and general polish" on Professor Rauser's rubric, so I think you're all set. Great job! I'm excited to read the final article! Elyse - EHowell2020 (talk) 15:44, 14 November 2017 (UTC)

Hi, I really like your page. I learned a lot about mule shoes! I think linking some words to different wiki pages like "Elle magazine," famous people names, or the different materials that were used to make the shoes would make the page even better. I would also write "or" instead of using "/" but that's a really small thing. There is also a lot of dates under the Style section and maybe having that as a list would be easier to picture a timeline, but the way it is written now is also good! Awesome page!
