Welcome!
Hello, Johndeines, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Ian and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 16:31, 18 September 2018 (UTC)

Peer review
I recently checked over the additions to Hagia Sophia that you made for the fall 2018 History of Architecture class at the University of Wyoming. While your edits undeniably strengthened the scope of the article, you may want to consider making some minor changes.

Obviously, the article was already quite large before you added your contributions, so I will be evaluating your additions specifically. Your writing is sufficiently objective, and the sources you used are credible and academic. Your grammar manages to communicate your points, although I would recommend brushing up on your punctuation knowledge. Your last three paragraphs were well-placed and contained valuable information about the current state of the Hagia Sophia, which I think is an especially important subject because of the church's well-publicized lack of upkeep. The dome paragraph is also good, although it could probably just be merged into other paragraphs in the same section. The first paragraph, while interesting, should not be situated in the article introduction; I would strongly recommend moving it to a more relevant location within the article.

The Hagia Sophia is a fascinating building, and I think that choosing it for your class project was a great choice. If you have not written your peer review yet, please considering evaluating my article (Laon Cathedral). Thank you, and a have a great winter break! Chevsapher (talk) 02:19, 8 December 2018 (UTC)
