Hi! I completed my peer review for the 'Abd al-Hayy page. You should be able to find it here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:WhimsicalOkapi/%27Abd_al-Hayy/Mellowyellow4_Peer_Review. Let me know if you have any questions or need clarification. Mellowyellow4 (talk) 18:51, 7 May 2021 (UTC)

Hi there, I really enjoyed reading your piece! I like how you included 'Abd al-Hayy's connections with other artists to add context.

Some suggestions to consider:

1) I would move the 'Contents' section up into the Lead section, as it gives a nice summary of what you'll be talking about

2) Instead of 'Early Life and Relationships" maybe change that title to something like "artist associations" or "artist mentors" or something like that, since that's what you really seem to be focusing on in that section

-In that same section, the sentences seem to be a bit disconnected, so maybe adding transitional words would pull the paragraph together and help the reader understand the significance of his relationships with these artists?

3) -In the 'Style' section, there are a few grammatical errors that I would suggest looking over

-This is in part due to the names that frequently occur, but I had a hard time following what you were trying to say because there were so many unfamiliar names, so is there a way you might be able to simplify the sentences a bit or maybe add introductory phrases like, 'his mentor [xyz] helped him ...' so that the reader can follow along?

-I would recommend organizing the 'Style' section into two paragraphs, one focusing on the monochrome ink drawings, and the other on wall paintings, and having a third paragraph tying them both together (you've already done this, but it is sort of distributed across the section, making it a bit hard to follow)

-I would suggest that you move the last sentence of this section into the second paragraph of the section, as they seem to go together, while right now, it seems a bit disconnected with the paragraph before it

4) When looking at the citations, there only seem to be 4 sources, so maybe finding a 5th could provide some insights that you could add!

Hope these suggestions help! Yesvery875 (talk) 20:31, 7 May 2021 (UTC)
