I've listed this article for peer review in order to know if, after two months of editings that increased the extension of the article, adding references and bibliography (from 15 references to more than 50), adjusting the images and trying to made the redaction more academic and neutral, the article of history of Catalonia is ready to reach the next step of quality or not. Also, I need a review of vocabulary and grammar, because maybe my English is a little poor in some aspects.

- @Jacobí:, hi. First things first, I guess it depends what you intend by the next step—GA, yes? I just thought I'd let you know, I did look in, thinking that, although I don't know the subject very well, I could do a bit of a copyedit. This is here, and feel free to revert what you like, of course. However: I stopped where I did because—IMHO—the amount of work required is still great (although not insurmountable). The main issue is a lack of sourcing. You've done good work adding all the sources and refs that you have, but an article of this size and breadth will need far more. At the moment, entire sections, let alone paragraphs, are unsourced. I'm afraid this would instantly fail the [WP:WIAGA|good-article criteria]]. Also, I found it difficult on occasion to do a copy edit because the actual sense of what was being said was sometimes difficult to discern. Although I sometimes edited it to say what I thought was trying to be said, frankly that needs an expert in the subject before a copy edit even starts; I'm thinking, just, for example, (rather long) sentences.
There are a few other things, such as the references and bibliography (they don't seem to tie up?) but sourcing is the main thing, along with a degree of expert input. Have you tried Wikiproject spain, perhaps? Some of these editors might be able to help. Sorry if this is really negative feedback, but as an article, it's important enough to warrant being the best we can do for it! Best of luck with it, and don't hesitate to come back to me over this. Take care! —SerialNumber54129 paranoia /cheap sh*t room 14:40, 14 August 2018 (UTC)
