See also is for more than just things in the same category
[edit]Thebiguglyalien reverted my addition of Patriarchy to the See also list, commenting that patriarchy is not a form of government. I'm not going to fight this right now, but wanted to at least go on the record that this is a made-up limit on the See also section, which can include any page which is relevant enough. (And of course patriarchy is highly relevant to autocracy.) John_Abbe (talk) 17:05, 21 June 2024 (UTC)
- There are thousands of things relevant to autocracy, and I'd hardly consider patriarchy to be in the top one hundred, let alone prominent enough to be in the article's "see also" section. The section should be reserved for the most pertinent links. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 17:14, 21 June 2024 (UTC)

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)
@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)
Well-written
[edit]- Every issue in the past review has been addressed.
Modern era
[edit]- "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
[edit]Spot check:
[edit]Broad
[edit]- Broad in its coverage
Neutral
[edit]- No issues with neutrality
Images
[edit]- No issues with images
Stable
[edit]- Stable, no warring
