Article Evaluation

I am reviewing the article Deur Kothar.

Overall the article is not very long and could include a lot more information about the subject. The introduction is not very insightful or overly informative. The subsections are logical but could be improved and some could be added. Not all information is referenced to quality. Overall, the information provided in this article can be elevated with editing, research, and sourcing.

Editing an Article I am editing an article about Sericulture. There is new evidence that suggests that the early development of silk did not come solely from China, but the Indus Civilization during the Mature Harappan phase. I will edit the article and cite the source found using the academic search premier.

Information changed/added: "Silk was believed to have first been produced in China as early as the Neolithic period, but recent evidence suggests that it was circulating more than 2000 years earlier. By careful analysis of archaeological silk fibre found on Indus Civilization sites dating back to 2450–2000 BC, it is believed that silk was being used over a wide region of South Asia."
