Notes
[edit]Hi! I think that your draft is shaping up nicely - my main notes are this: the article needs more sourcing to back up claims. Primary sources are OK, but it's always good to have sourcing that is independent and secondary. My other note is that you need to be careful of vague wording and tone. I've used some tags to highlight what I meant - essentially be careful of wording like "some say", as the question is "who says this". The same goes with the term famous, as this needs to be attributed to the person or outlet making the claim. This is actually a word I wouldn't use unless you're quoting an independent source. The reason for this is that the term is a bit subjective and while the village may claim that a specific building is the most well known, it may be that the most commonly well known is another one. (I'd also use the term "well known" instead since that's the terminology Wikipedia frequently uses.)
It's definitely shaping up nicely as a whole! --Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 16:32, 12 October 2018 (UTC)
