1. The Lead Section
- This is a great lead section and the information added to it provides a greater depth to who Damaratus was. The lead section provides a great overview for the rest of the article, it provides an even distribution of all sections in the article.
2. Clarity of Article Structure
- The article and information added provides a concise, chronological outline of Damaratus, from his early family life/reign to his transformation over to Persia.
3. Coverage Balance
- The article has a heavy focus on Demaratus and Xerxes, however the information is important and well put, the other sections are well balanced in length. I think that the article provides significant viewpoints from others, as it is not just Demaratus but the words of Xerxes and the oracle of Delphi are mentioned. No particular points of views are pushed over others.
4. Content Neutrality
- The perspective is left neutral, as it speaks about Demaratus before and after his exile and neutrally explains his actions. There are no claims made by unnamed groups. The negatives and positives of Demaratus are touched on, making it a well balanced article in terms of perspective on this person.
5. Sources
- The sources only come from The Landmark Herodotus: The Histories, which is not terribly wrong, as Herodotus definitely wrote of much of Greek history. The sources and citations are credible nonetheless.
Overall, this is a great addition to this article and it is well organized and well done!
