[edit] Review by violet/riga

  • Coverage and factuality: 6
Poor referencing and does not seem to cover everything (such as theories about their extinction)
  • Writing style: 8
Generally well written
  • Structure: 7
Could do with reordering and resectioning
  • Aesthetics: 7
The "popular culture" section is too large and does not add to the article particularly well; the images are good
  • Overall: 6

A disappointing article - I would have thought it would be of a higher standard given its encyclopedic importance. violet/riga (t) 20:10, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Review by HereToHelp

  • Coverage and factuality:

5. It all looks okay (but I am not an anthropologist), but there are very few references, and there are not inlined.

  • Writing style:

8. Flows well, but there are few awkward places and some arid technical terms.

  • Structure:

9.5. Flows pretty well, but it could always improve.

  • Aesthetics:

7 Nice images, but you'd expect more for a topic like this (link to Commons template?).

  • Overall:

7. Mostly because of the (lack of) references, and there are plenty.
