Looks interesting :) Happy to take this. Cheers, Sainsf · (How ya doin'?) 16:47, 6 May 2020 (UTC)

Sainsf, awesome! I should be available over the next few days to respond and make edits, though things are a little topsy-turvy at the moment. Thanks for reviewing the article. Ganesha811 (talk) 17:16, 6 May 2020 (UTC)

• No copyvio concerns, dablinks, duplinks or broken external links
• Sourcing looks decent but inline citation missing for "Between 1915 and 1930, additional work...drainage under the Arno. "

• Fixed - added reference.

• A few things for citations:

• Include translated titles (trans-title) and language parameters for foreign language sources
• Avoid all caps
• In ref 2 I think there should only be a "last" parameter and no "first", makes it look weird
• Ref 9 needs more details

• Fixed. I believe all these issues should now be addressed.

• It was also known as Lago di Sesto This would look better if included in the previous line instead as "Lago di Bientina, also known as Lago di Sesto, ...."

• Fixed. Edited.

• Citations should usually be absent from the lead, and all the points mentioned there should be in the main text as well.
• tHe lead should be expanded by a few more lines to include major details throughout the article like "Due to regular flooding and the fact ...improving the drainage of the lake began in the 1500s". Basically it should be a complete picture of the main text

• Fixed. I've rewritten the lead to address the two points above. Let me know if it's now suitably improved!

• It would be interesting to add the English translation or meaning of the name if possible

• Comment: Agreed, but I can't find a reliable source. The Italian version of the article states that Lago di Sesto (sesto = sixth) comes from the sixth mile marker on a road through the valley, but it's unsourced and I can't find a source to back it up. Ganesha811 (talk) 16:26, 7 May 2020 (UTC)

• A link for Monte Carlo?

• Fixed - added link.

• come in the 7th century AD I think "date back to the 7th..." sounds better

• Fixed. - Edited.

• 7th century AD and mid-eighth century - two ways of putting numbers less than ten. MOS recommends words for such numbers but it isn't strict, just consistency is required.

• Fixed. Edited.

• and in 1907 it was necessary "and by 1907 it became necessary" sounds better

• Fixed. Edited.

• Maybe link "reclamation"

• Fixed. Added link.

That should be it. A well-written, interesting article :) Cheers, Sainsf · (How ya doin'?) 08:11, 7 May 2020 (UTC)

The changes look great, especially the lead :) The point about the translation of the name may be ignored it we don't have good sources. Just one more point I noticed.. "Canale Imperiale" and any other foreign language words should be in italics consistently throughout the article. I didn't check for other examples but this Canal name is in italics in lead but not in main text. Plus it would be great to add translations like you do for La Botte in the lead (not sure about all other foreign terms but it would be great if we can do it for most terms to enhance readability).

Sainsf, thanks for the feedback! I'll make these edits now. :) Ganesha811 (talk) 01:48, 13 May 2020 (UTC)

Fixed. Made consistent as per reviewer comment.

Great. Ready for promotion :) Sainsf · (How ya doin'?) 01:58, 13 May 2020 (UTC)

Ganesha811 Ooops sorry did not notice you had already finished - also my edit should have had a comment that I found a couple of things unclear as a first time reader.Chidgk1 (talk) 14:47, 14 May 2020 (UTC)
