A good start made here, Kaylee

A little more info here on which sentences need syntactical improvement or how the layout of the characters might be made more readily legible would be helpful. I am not too sure what you mean by “up to date but limited” in relation to the information presented here.

Some nice work on elements of this page that are missing. I thought a section on reception was a very good idea, and perhaps this might be complimented by a section on production history, so that you could distinguish between historical and contemporary reception.

In terms of “political aspects,” perhaps the political elements of the play would be discussed under the current “themes” section, which is currently a little limited in terms of the interpretative angles it presents.

I thought “make up of audiences” would be a very difficult thing to research in the case of this piece, and would suggest instead incorporating any information about audience demographics into a section on reception.

Comparison with other of Synge’s plays might also work best under “themes”

In terms of Synge’s use of Hiberno-English in general, this seemed to me more of a subject for the page on Synge himself, although the specific nature of H-E in Riders could be discussed here. Similarly, with Inishmaan, you would want to avoid repeating information from the page on the island itself, but you could discuss its specific influence on the play here – perhaps this too could fit under themes.

I am not sure what a Legacy section might look like, given the solid work that has gone into adaptations here.

In terms of neutrality, citations and sources, I can see numerous places where a claim needs a reference – e.g. – “this speech of Maurya is famous in Irish drama.”

Overall, the article would greatly benefit from some engagement with the numerous peer-reviewed academic sources that exist on the play.
