[edit] Review by Martin Walker
- Coverage and factuality: 6
- Good basic coverage of topics, though I'd like to see some coverage of them as a food source for early hunter-gatherers, if this occurred. I'm not a biologist, so I can't validate facts. Another couple of refs would be nice. I think the article could be significantly longer, there must be more suitable content. One question I have - did any of the prehistoric worship/cults of aurochs lead to any modern cultural phenomena such as the "sacred cow" in Hinduism or bullfighting in Spain?
- Writing style: 10
- Excellent, I really enjoyed reading the piece
- Structure: 8
- Also very good.
- Aesthetics: 7
- I'd like to see a drawing of an aurochs, perhaps next to a modern cow or bull.
- Overall: 7
- An excellent short piece, I just wanted a longer article!
[edit] Review by violet/riga
- Coverage and factuality: 5
- Covers most things briefly, but is not thorough in any way when compared to the external links. The absence of inline citations also limits the possible score.
- Writing style: 8
- No major problems, but some parts could do with a little tweak.
- Structure: 5
- The lead is badly done, not summarising the article. The sections are not particularly intuitive.
- Aesthetics: 5
- Badly needs some image of an auroch other thana cave painting.
- Overall: 5
The article is not particularly well structured and does not cover things well enough. On the plus side, the prose is of a good standard. violet/riga (t) 21:17, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
