Are the sources written by a diverse spectrum of authors? Do they include historically marginalized individuals where possible?
Are there better sources available, such as peer-reviewed articles in place of news coverage or random websites? (You may need to do some digging to answer this.)
Check a few links. Do they work?

Notability requirements - i.e. Is the article supported by 2-3 reliable secondary sources independent of the subject?
How exhaustive is the list of sources? Does it accurately represent all available literature on the subject?
Does the article follow the patterns of other similar articles - i.e. contain any necessary infoboxes, section headings, and any other features contained within similar articles?
Does the article link to other articles so it is more discoverable?
Overall impressions
Guiding questions:
Has the content added improved the overall quality of the article - i.e. Is the article more complete?
What are the strengths of the content added?
How can the content added be improved?
Examples of good feedback
A good article evaluation can take a number of forms. The most essential things are to clearly identify the biggest shortcomings, and provide specific guidance on how the article can be improved.
(Compose a detailed peer review here, considering each of the key aspects listed above if it is relevant. Consider the guiding questions, and check out the examples of what feedback looks like.)
Lead:
The Lead has been updated to reflect the new content added by the user.
The Lead does include an introductory sentence that concisely and clearly describes the article’s topic, as they give a brief overview of the topic which is Cunnilingus.
The Lead does include a brief description of the article’s major sections, making reference to the topic of Cunnilingus.
The Lead is concise and not overly detailed.
Content:
The content added is relevant to the topic as it provides information on the origins of the world Cunnilingus.
The content added is up to date as the reference used is published in 2023.
Tone and Balance:
The content added is neutral as it consists of facts.
To my knowledge it does not seem biased towards a particular position.
Sources and References:
I don’t think all of the content is backed up by a reliable secondary source of information. There is only one source cited for the entire content added, and this source only accurately reflects one small part of the content.
The user makes reference to a quote by a novelist named Sarah Waters but does not reference any source in which they retrieved this quote from.
There is also specific information that is not backed up by sources.
The only source that is referenced is also not reliable as it is a page from a website that is not scholarly or written by researchers. It is also not peer-reviewed.
The source however, is current as it was published in 2023.
The source is not written by a diverse spectrum of authors, it is written by one man.
Organization:
The content added is well-written, easy to read and concise.
The content is well-organized, including a title heading.
The only thing I would note is that the paragraph is written in bold when it should not be.
