Age of Discovery
This peer review discussion has been closed. I've listed this article for peer review because I think it is now quite complete, and intend to proceed to featured content. There are several interesting articles related to the theme in different areas (such as economics, geography to medicine) and the "Age of Discovery" article helps understanding and context. I'm always missing something and discovering mispelings, so I thank your collaboration to help tune details. The topic is extensive, so I suggest to avoid excessive detail, and focus on exploration and travel, keeping the chronological order, to help understand the evolution of events often linked.

 * An interesting and very comprehensive project. I especially like the ambition to explain the period in a greater context. I'll try to read the whole article through if I have the time and get back with detailed comments later. A first impression is that the article would benefit greatly from a complete conversion to shorthand notes with the full source under a separate heading. It has been done partially with DeLamar, Crosby, Gernet and several others, but not consistently. It's not entirely clear why works like DeVoto and Cipolla are included under "Bibliography". Perhaps a "Further reading"-section would be a good idea for works that aren't actually cited.
 * Personally, I tend to favor the use of refs with a minimum of template code, preferably none at all, though this is usually considered to be the prerogative of the primary contributor(s).

 * I just have added the entire section about the Russian conquest of Siberia into the article, so now it is really complete. Greyhood (talk) 23:13, 23 May 2010 (UTC)
