Which article are you evaluating?

[edit]

Marianne Brocklehurst

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?

[edit]

I chose it because I'm interested in the history of travel and Egyptology in the last 19th century. I know a little about Marianne Brocklehurst and her work and influence in Egyptology and I think her article is notable. There is also a lot of verifiable information out there.

Evaluate the article

[edit]

The lead section is really short. I think with some more research, there could be more to lead into her life and work.

The content of the article is relevant and, generally, up to date. The tone is neutral. But there is a lot missing about her travel in Egypt, not to mention her personal life. . There's a diary that has been published. Why isn't there more in the article about her trip? The organization make sense (there isn't much there to organize). The media are 2 photos. I would love to see a side-bar like other biographical articles have.

There isn't anything on the talk page except that this is a start-class article of low importance. I don't know that we can know her importance until we get more information about her. I'd like to know more about her collection of antiquities to the museum in Macclesfield. I would also like to find more media to add to the article.
