Talk:Larissa Tudor/Comments

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Rated B-class

As you've noticed, I have rated this article after seeing the request in WikiProject biography. I just wanted to leave some comments to justify my rating.

This article definitely shows time and effort - so good job to the main editors. However, I feel this article, like all articles, has room for improvement. I rated it B-class because I felt it was well-researched and definitely slightly better than most start-class articles, but to be honest it was a tough call. While I feel this article is generally well-written and researched, it had some significant information gaps. Also, the information currently researched could be organized better. Nevertheless, I would still like to once again commend the work that has been done thus far. Keep in mind that while I am focusing on the criticism, there are positive aspects that for time sake I won't comment upon.

Here are some of my main suggestions for the article (not an exhaustive list - just some things I feel should be attended to right away) --

  • Reference to Larissa Tudor - I feel that the use of "Tudor" or "she" is more appropriate than using her first name, "Larissa," as the article does
  • Better organization of biographical information - there is an entire section on marriage, illness, and death. I would suggest dividing her biography into different sections so that it is more useful to readers
  • Prose is already good quality, but could be embellished upon
  • More info is required on her early life - if there is little info available, mention that
  • Titles of some of the sections should be edited - rather than "Was she Grand Duchess Tatiana?", a better title would be "Controversy" or something along those lines, except more specific
  • The ? at the beginning looks rather unattractive, just in my personal opinion - I think just simply putting (died July 18, 1926)

If anyone has any questions about my comments or rating, please feel free to leave a note on my talk page. Good luck, keep working on it, and happy editing!
