While I have just started reviewing the article, on first glance, it appears well-sourced and detailed. I am expecting to take about a week to complete the review. --1990'sguy (talk) 14:05, 22 June 2017 (UTC)

This article is well done. However, some changes will have to be made before I promote the article.

Links

• This article lacks links to several relevant or notable topics.
  • Please add a link to "Dark Ages" in the third intro paragraph
  • Add a link to Romanization of Greek to "Latinization" in the "Etymology" section
  • I'm not sure which "Andronicus" you are referring to in the "Aristotle" section, but please add a link to him if an article exists. Please do the same for "Dorotheus" and "Zopyrion" in the "Alexandria" sections if articles exist
  • Add a link to "Roman" and "Cicero" and Pro Archia Poeta in the "Rome" section
  • Add a link to Niccolò Leoniceno and Eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 in the "Pliny the Elder" section
  • Add a link to "Middle Ages", Orthodoxy, Codex Justinianus, and Ibn al-Nadim in "The Middle Ages" section
  • Add a link to Cao Wei in the China section (I believe this is the correct article for "Wei dynasty")
  • Add a link to "Renaissance", Conrad Gessner, Bibliotheca universalis, and Antonio Possevino in the "Renaissance" section.
  • Add a link to Elizabethan era in the "England" section. Please consider adding other links to relevant people and works in the section as well
  • Add a link to "John Harris" in the "Enlightenment" section if one exists. Also add a link to Ephraim Chambers, Cyclopædia, or an Universal Dictionary of Arts and Sciences, "The Encyclopedia" (I could not find a link to it), and Encyclopædia Britannica.
  • Add a wink to Wikipedia in "The 19th and 20th centuries" section

Sources

Several sentences are unsourced. Please add reliable sources to these sentences:

• Hesychius (fifth century) credits Diogenianus as a source, who in turn used Pamphilus. This is the only form in which any of Pamphilus's work may have survived. (in the "Alexandria" section)
• The Arab counterpart to these works was Kitab al-Fehrest by Ibn al-Nadim. (in "The Middle Ages" section)
• Several paragraphs in "The Middle Ages" besides the one above are unsourced. Please add some sources
• The first paragraph in "The Enlightenment" is unsourced
• The entire "The 19th and 20th centuries" section is unsourced

Other

• Please replace all hyphens with en dashes that are placed between two different dates. These include "1426-1427" in the "Cornelius Celsus" section, and several dates in "The Enlightenment" section. Also, please remove the spaces between the en dash and the other code in "c. 25 BC – c. 50 AD" in the Rome section.

If you fix these things I identified, I will promote the article to GA. I will give you up to two weeks to make the fixes, even though I hope such a long time will not be necessary --1990'sguy (talk) 08:24, 28 June 2017 (UTC)

I unintentionally let more than two weeks pass on the GA nomination. The nominator did not make any of the suggested improvements, so I regretfully have to fail the article. If anyone else makes these improvements, please do so, ping me, and renominate the article, and I will likely promote it to GA. --1990'sguy (talk) 20:42, 20 July 2017 (UTC)
