Article evaluation
Citations provided appear to work and lead to correct information

Most recent information appears to be from 2013, will verify and look for anything more recent

Several citations are missing/needed

No date is listed for Robert Silverberg's novelette Sailing to Byzantium

Significance section appears incomplete, mainly discusses lighthouse word origin, but not many other reasons the lighthouse itself is significant

Archaeological research and rediscovery section could use more detail about what parts of the lighthouse were found during this exploration (such as the 12ft door and statues that decorated the outside of the lighthouse along with possibly adding a link and citation to the videos showing this exploration

Construction - could use further information on the alleged architect Sostratus if reliable information can be found, also information on why the Pharaoh had the lighthouse built

Needs more information on the purpose and uses of the lighthouse along with information on the interior if it can be found

The Lighthouse of Alexandria is now featured in the new video game Assassin's Creed Origins, released October 27, 2017. The game features an interactive reproduction of the lighthouse and the city of Alexandria, along with an educational discovery tour mode (due for release early 2018) that will provide facts and information on the history and construction of the lighthouse with research provided by Evelyne Ferron, a Historian specializing in Ancient Greco-Roman Egypt. I think this information should be added with proper citation.

Article Edits
I added a citation that was missing from archaeological research and rediscovery (16).

I added and re-worded some of the information in this section as follows: More information chronicling this discovery can be found on the companion website for the Nova program "Treasures of the Sunken City".

I added 2 external links under the external link section. One for the Nova program chronicling the 1997 exploration and one showing the actual video of the exploration.

I added the following text and citation under significance: Legend has it that the people of the island of Pharos would destroy any ship that wrecked on their shores. Wanting to prevent this, Ptolemy I had the lighthouse built to help guide ships into port at night. [18] I also added the citation missing for the Norwegian word for lighthouse (19).

I added the publishing year under books for Sailing to Byzantium - 1985

I added the In video games section and added the information and citation for Assasins Creed Origins, along with linking the information to the Assasins Creed Origins Wikipedia page.

I attempted to add a citation for the height in the info box, but that was more advanced than I realized and had horrifying results. I restored the page to before I made that mistake (I hope). Rachel Fuller (talk) 18:31, 25 November 2017 (UTC)
