Suger article

This article is about the French Abbot, Suger. The article begins with an explanation of Suger's past and his educational background. The article states that Suger was the "inventor of Gothic Architecture[1]," but there is much more written about his background than of his contributions to architecture. There is a section devoted to his contributions to Gothic Architecture, but it seems lacking, and could use a little more depth and discussion about all of the things he contributed to that particular style. It only brings up that he redid the Church of Saint Denis, and this article would have been stronger if there had been mention of any buildings he was responsible for during his lifetime. There is also a very brief section about his writings that is a bit vague and could be improved upon. Overall, there is much more said about his background than of his importance to the development of Gothic Architecture.

All of the sources on this article seem credible, but a few of them date back into the late eighties and nineties. The sources used are most likely credible sources of information, but this article could be improved with the use of those sources in addition to some newer and more updated sources.

Overall, this article has great information and facts on the life and accomplishments of Abbot Suger. It is a bit information-heavy on his background, and it could be improved if more information was given about his contributions to Gothic Architecture and some more of his writings and other works.

Suger rush

I cannot return to this to complete the article until late May (that is, if I remember to) but hope that the edits so far will be useful. — aoyma3 (talk) 00:01, 28 April 2024 (UTC)
