... that the punishment of sinners in the second circle of hell(pictured) is an example of contrapasso? Print sources in article; refs 17 and 18
ALT1: ... that Rodin's sculpture The Kiss(pictured) depicts two of the souls damned to the second circle of hell? Print source again; ref 20 in the article
Comment, not review - Added the second picture and adjusted hooks. Earwig's complains about identical text in First circle of hell but you wrote that, so not a problem. If one of these alts are chosen, I think it should be in the image slot, the reader learns a lot more through these. The first image just needs a US-PD tag on commons.

Approve Main Hook and first image I see this is going to be a long-term project for you. I look forward to seeing all the other circles of hell. Anyways, article was moved to mainspace today, so is new enough. It is more than long enough and properly uses inline citations and I'll AGF on the offline sources. For the hooks...hmm...I think I'm leaning toward the main hook, just because I feel it's more likely to get people to click, which is one of the main points after all. The hook is interesting and cited inline. The QPQ has been done and image looks to be PD, so is good to be used. Everything seems good to go. SilverserenC20:02, 27 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Article is quite similar to First circle of Hell and Third circle of hell, which were also written by you. Let's cover some more detail; good class articles are supposed to be complete enough to satisfy a serious student or researcher. Some additional background and context could be added for the characters (for example Minos and Homer).
Change murdered lovers whose story was contemporary with, and well-known in, Dante's time. to murdered lovers whose story was contemporary with (and well-known) in Dante's time.
Thanks for taking a look at this. I've amended the links as you mention and reworded the sentence in the lead--as it's just a summary of the body I opted to trim it rather than introduce bracketed asides for the sake of clarity, let know me if that's alright. Changes can be seen here. As to expanding the background--I will take another look for some more material discussing the depiction of Minos but what level of detail do you feel should be devoted to Homer? My inclination would be just to provide a brief gloss as to who he was and what he wrote without going into any real detail, as he's usually considered less influential on the Commedia than Virgil's Aeneids are, but if you feel like more is warranted I can go further. ᵹʀᴀᴘᴘʟᴇꭗ15:28, 14 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
