Article Evaluation (The Colosseum)
I am Evaluating the wiki article on the Roman Colosseum.

As i'm reading this article, one sentence stands out quickly. "The Colosseum is also depicted on the Italian version of the five-cent euro coin."

This sentence does not seem relevant, because it has nothing to do with how this ancient building was built, who built it, and what it's purpose was/is.

This article follows the history of the Colosseum very accurately based on multiple reliable sources, with one being the BBC:History of the Colosseum. One section that could be improved, is the Medieval section of the Colosseum, because the amount of info is very limited.

I sensed a slightly biased tone in this article, but only when discussing people stealing from the Colosseum throughout history. Whether it was stone robbers, or others stealing the bronze all over the structure, this editor did not like that part of the Colosseum's history.

All of the links that I checked worked just fine, and there are many reliable sources cited. This was expected because the Colosseum is one of the most famous structures in the world. BBC's "History of the Colosseum" is the most informative and reliable source used with no signs of plagiarism.

The main talk behind the scenes of this article, is about how the article had some sort of protection on it and people were asking to lift this protection so they had the capability to edit. This was a level 3 vital article with a C-class rating, but has not yet been evaluated for B-class, and is a part of multiple Wiki Projects.
