This peer review discussion has been closed. I've listed this article for peer review because... I and several other editors have addressed the coments from the previous peer review, which was done about eighteen months ago.

Well this is a device of many uses! Here are some ideas to get you started:
 * Logically I think the history should go first. There are certain questions this section should answer:
 * Who invented the device?
 * Where does the technology stem from? (i.e. what were the preceding technologies?)
 * Who coined the term "multimeter"?
 * How has the multimeter developed and evolved over time?

This kind of information will be able to put some of the sections in context. The article is largely technical at the moment thus the sections don't have a specific order that they should go in. Providing an overview of its history will cater for the average reader and begin a clear structure for this article.

The lead section also mentions pricing but this isn't mentioned in the main body at all. Perhaps this could be expanded upon, providing a brief analysis of how and where the devices are produced.

Referencing is another thing that could be improved. Any documentation could be used to back up technical explanations. Hopefully this has given you some ideas on where the article can go from here. Sillyfolkboy (talk) 05:57, 28 November 2008 (UTC)
