  • Tycho Brahe
  • We're currently studying him, and I thought he had a particularly interesting life, especially considering Uraniborg.

Lead

[edit]
Guiding questions
  • Yes, it lists basic biographical info about him and quickly mentions his roles and what he is most notable for
  • Mostly. The lead is more a brief summary of his life as a whole which implicitly covers the major topics, except for the third one, titled "legacy"
  • Not from what I can tell
  • I believe it is concise.

Checking the talk page

[edit]
Guiding questions
  • A few on grammar, and one on a person in Tycho's life
  • It is a delisted good article, and is a class B for multiple wikiprojects and a C for another
  • It is a little more brief on some subjects, but more detailed in others. For example, Tycho's nose has a whole subsection where it just got little more than a mention in class.
