1. The Lead Section Lead Lead could use some additional information, but overall clears up the content of article well enough. Essential information pertaining to Hippias is handled well, sourcing is valid. Maybe add some information regarding contemporary or modern interpretations of his character?

2. Clarity of Article Structure Article structure is laid out chronologically, and highlights important information very clearly. Topics of historical importance are clearly noted as are key events. Images are added in order to facilitate this. Overall very well done, but much of it seems to have already existed on the official page.


3. Coverage Balance There is definitely more information on the historical events Hippias was involved in than of the man himself, but I imagine this has more to do with the sources available than any kind of intentional effort on the editors part. Both of the larger sections are equal in length and breadth of information, but there might be a lack of opposing viewpoints within the article, which might be necessary.

4. Content Neutrality

I can't actually determine what the editor added and what already existed within the article, which is an issue in of itself, but the content of the work that's here is primarily neutral. Certain quotes however could use less poetic language such as "But when he set foot on Greek soil, one of his teeth, which was loose due to his advanced age, fell out on to the beach after Hippias fell into a coughing and sneezing fit when directing the troops. Although he searched frantically for the tooth, he was not able to retrieve it. He believed that this fulfilled the real meaning of his dream: he would only regain this bite of his native country for his lost tooth held his share". Little catches like this could use work.

5. Sources Sourcing Sources, or what sources there are, are minimal. While you definitely added information, it seems like not too much of it was given a proper citation. Updating this aspect is probably the largest concern to bring to the final draft. There are a variety of sources available to employ on the western libraries site, and Wikipedia has a fairly intuitive method of adding this kind of info.
