Summary
This Simple Wikipedia page is designed to confer knowledge about morphemes to those that have limited English capability. Subtopics include free & bound morphemes, and derivational & inflectional morphemes (which are a subgroup of bound morphemes. The article contains several examples of deconstruction of a word into constituent morphemes.

Major Points

 * Since this is the simple English wiki, it might be advisable to add a pronunciation guide, though on this I'm not exactly sure.
 * I'm not sure why "Sources" and "Other References" are separate.
 * Literally no citations outside of the word decomposition examples. I get that Nate already knows all of this, but that is unfortunately not how Wikipedia works. Statements need to be externally verified.

Minor Points

 * The "Examples" Section is physically quite large while being informationally sparse. If it were possible to arrange it in a 2-column format, that would be preferable to what it currently looks like.
 * Inconsistent use of wiki links. In the first example, the words "verb", "noun", and "adjective" are linked to thair respective pages, but when those words appear later, they are not linked.
 * I would keep the old references section, but make it into a large comment or place it on the talk page. As it is, there is no reason for it to exist.

Thoughts
I like it. The form and level of content seems appropriate. I'm not too familiar with the simple wiki, but from what I've seen, this should fit in.

Peer Review - James Kemos
Summary:

The wikipedia page is about morphemes and how they are used in the english language. There are free morphemes that can be used as one word or a bound morpheme that can be used for a plural usage. There are also two types of bound morphemes and these are derivational and inflectional.

Major points:

The page certainly appears as it would if listed in an encyclopedia.

I also liked how the author added several examples and included bullet points to explain the definition of each morpheme and what type of morpheme it was.

It was an informative piece because I learned the actual meaning behind a few of the morphemes and also learned that there were different types of morphemes.

I am not sure if the author could have added much more text to bring up the word count for this page so I do not believe that a word count minimum is necessarily needed for this page to be considered complete.

Minor Points:

It might look a little more organized if the author were to break things up a little more in the context memo at the top of the page. This way a reader could easily navigate through without reading the whole article to find something useful that could be informative.

If possible the author could also benefit by trying to include an image into their page as well. I know it might be difficult to find an image, but a flowchart or something along the lines of that could be really beneficial to the reader.

It might be nice if there was some form of conclusion paragraph or some form of summary statement at the bottom that restates the point of the page to tie everything together.

Overall, the page is certainly on the right track and I do not believe that there is much more work that needs to be done. It is a very informative page that could be helpful when needing to look over words and there syntax and meaning.
