Article evaluation (Marduk)

-seems to have unnecessary information about Bel

- most recent source is from 2012 could use a more recent source

- in the section on the late bronze age there appears to be a random line about the 50 names of Marduk( which are mentioned later in the article)

-Enuma Elish should be a separate section from the bronze age.

-says "Babylonian texts talk of".... which texts ?

-"probably" seems like a strange word here.

-some information appears to be missing citations; there are whole paragraphs without any citations because of which some of the information could be regarded as personal opinions

-the article does not feel complete

-some of the sources are confusing (they have links to other Wiki pages not sure if that okay)but others are reliable.

-lots of helpful links to other Wiki pages.

-some discussion on talk page but mostly related to religious aspects and general editing

-part of multiple Wiki projects

-it is start class

In the Hopi creation story grandmother spider acts as a guide to the creatures in the first world, helping them travel to the higher worlds.
