Lead

Guiding questions:

• Has the Lead been updated to reflect the new content added by your peer?
• Does the Lead include an introductory sentence that concisely and clearly describes the article's topic?
• Does the Lead include a brief description of the article's major sections?
• Does the Lead include information that is not present in the article?

Content

Guiding questions:

• Is the content added relevant to the topic?
• Is the content added up-to-date?
• Is there content that is missing or content that does not belong?

Content evaluation

For content, I would add sections:

• Origin
• Ideals (it says the ideals are based on the ideals of idealist Neo-Confucian philosopher Wang Yangming. Go into detail on what those ideals are)
• Where Yangmingism is practiced
• How is Yangmingism taught?
• Notable people who practice and spread Yangmingism in the past and in the present

Tone and Balance

Guiding questions:

• Is the content added neutral?
• Are there any claims that appear heavily biased toward a particular position?
• Are there viewpoints that are overrepresented, or underrepresented?
• Does the content added attempt to persuade the reader in favor of one position or away from another?

Tone and balance evaluation

I like the fact that you have a "critics" section in mind, because this will add to the neutrality element of this article.

Sources and References

Guiding questions:

• Is all new content backed up by a reliable secondary source of information?
• Are the sources thorough - i.e. Do they reflect the available literature on the topic?
• Are the sources current?
• Check a few links. Do they work?

Sources and references evaluations

So far the only sources are books, which is fine, but hopefully you incorporate websites and scholarly articles so that viewers can instantly check the source of the information you are providing.

Organization

Guiding questions:

• Is the content added well-written - i.e. Is it concise, clear, and easy to read?
• Does the content added have any grammatical or spelling errors?
• Is the content added well-organized - i.e. broken down into sections that reflect the major points of the topic?

Images and Media

Guiding questions: If your peer added images or media

• Does the article include images that enhance understanding of the topic?
• Are images well-captioned?
• Do all images adhere to Wikipedia's copyright regulations?
• Are the images laid out in a visually appealing way?

Images and media evaluation

I think adding images that symbolize Yangmingism or an image of the place where Yangmingism was originated would add to the article. Also I think images of notable people who practice Yangmingism would be great to add as well.

For New Articles Only

If the draft you're reviewing is a new article, consider the following in addition to the above.

• Does the article meet Wikipedia's Notability requirements - i.e. Is the article supported by 2-3 reliable secondary sources independent of the subject?
• How exhaustive is the list of sources? Does it accurately represent all available literature on the subject?
• Does the article follow the patterns of other similar articles - i.e. contain any necessary infoboxes, section headings, and any other features contained within similar articles?
• Does the article link to other articles so it is more discoverable?

Overall impressions

Guiding questions:

• Has the content added improved the overall quality of the article - i.e. Is the article more complete?
• What are the strengths of the content added?
• How can the content added be improved?

Overall evaluation

Overall, you have good sections planned out in your sandbox and this topic seems really complex, so I'm sure you'll have almost endless information to add to this article, which is great considering it's a stub right now. You shouldn't have trouble getting it to C-class. All that needs to be done is the work itself, I look forward to reading this article after this assignment is over.
