State Shinto


I've listed this article for peer review because I've made major contributions to the article, and believe it could be ready for a re-assessment. I'd like to get the article to Featured, or at least "Good Article" status. Suggestions on formatting, content, needs, and other issues noted by experienced editors would be welcome.

Thanks for putting this article up for review, Owlsmcgee. It's clear you have put a lot of work into this detailed article. I would recommend a few things, but that said these are only my thoughts:
  • This article would benefit from an initial 'overview' section that explains what shinto is as a religion, what its major tenets and practices are, and maybe a small historical overview.
  • The lead would benefit from expansion
  • The article is very well supported with sources, which is great
  • The details in the article are very interesting and well above "broad", which is wonderful.
  • I find the images relevant to the article

I hope this helps on your path to good article status. Cheers, -- Tom (LT) ( talk) 23:10, 30 January 2016 (UTC) reply

Thanks for the advice, Tom (LT)! I tend to like short leads, but I will explore ways to develop it. And yes, some additional background will be useful - I'm working a bit on the main Shinto article, so I can create a summary while I am at it. Thanks again! --- Owlsmcgee ( talk) 04:12, 31 January 2016 (UTC) reply
