Peer review by Spencer Lacey
Temple of Bacchus is a referred to any temple that worships the wine god Bacchus. Which is relevant to antiquity. One of the main sites referenced for this is in Bekkaa Valley in Baalbek, Lebanon. Is a Roman historical cite and is a UNESCO World Heritage site. Commissioned by Antoninus Pius and build by an unknown architect. Is in front of a larger temple. Constructed around 150AD to 250AD. Greek conquest was the first to note the site. The site is now protected ruins. First contact with European people was in 1898-1903 by a German exhibition. Being an UNESCO World Heritage site, it falls under criteria I and IV. In 1956 the International Baalbek Festival started but was later stopped in 1974 due to civil war. But resumed in 97. The festival is a celebration of the middle east. The temple is 66m long, 35m wide and 31m high. And is a basic temple features of the time.
This article was very well written for Wikipedia. As I read the parts of the page, I understand the location and get an informed look at its history and features. The links provide are good and reliable and all the work is very neutral in tone. I understand this location, but I do not know about the person who wrote this. Which is exactly what a reader wants from a Wiki article.

Donatellia Austin's peer review edit
The first section of the article reflect and contains the most important information about Temple of Bacchus, also there are not too much of information that would left nothing to write to the rest of the subject. The are no missing or redundant information in the lead section. The structure of the topic is clear which has 6 sections. The 6 sections are history, architecture, see also, Notes, bibliography, and external links. The section's length is not equal to its importance to the article's subject. The UNESCO World Heritage Site Inscription section is unnecessary to have a whole section for that information, this information it can be under the Architecture section since The UNESCO World Heritage criteria for choosing the Phoenician city and temple complex that includes the Temple of Bacchus, the Temple of Jupiter and the Temple of Venus. There are a lot of statements attributed to one or two sources; which leads to an unbalanced article, or one that leans too heavily into a single point of view. I would suggest the author change to add more information about architecture, for example adding information about falling column, view from cella, lintel, and stairs towards the temple of Bacchushttp://www.livius.org/articles/place/heliopolis-baalbek/baalbek-photos/baalbek-temple-of-bacchus/; because the class focus on the architecture section than other sections. I did not notice anything about the article I viewed that could be applicable to the article that I editCórdoba, Spain 129.72.120.128 (talk) 01:17, 11 December 2018 (UTC) zalhemai (Zainab Alhemaid)
