Hello, I'm going to be doing this review as part of the July GA backlog drive. It should take me no longer than a week. 22:01, 30 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Thebiguglyalien:: Overall, I could find very little to be addressed in the article. Please see my suggestions below and consider implementing them when you have a chance. Kimikel (talk) 00:33, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Kimikel, I've made the changes that you suggested. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 17:28, 7 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Thebiguglyalien I read through the article again and could not find anything amiss. Thank you for making this a super easy review, and for quickly implementing my suggestions. I appreciate your work, congratulations on another good article! Kimikel (talk) 23:08, 7 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Well-written

Every issue in the past review has been addressed.

Modern era

"The decline in autocracy across Western Europe..." > This paragraph would make more sense if you flipped the next two sentences, as it starts by saying that it affected other areas of the world, and then says that it was resisted or ineffective.
In terms of prose, that was the only suggestion I had.

Verifiable

Spot check:

20: Verified
25: Verified, though I would clarify that this is historically true, in spite of the spread of democracy in the 20th century, which is a caveat the author himself makes.
48: Verified
59: Verified
65: Verified
66: Verified, though author is listed as Edward J. Shultz

Broad

Broad in its coverage

Neutral

No issues with neutrality

Images

No issues with images

Stable

Stable, no warring
