Hi, Looks like an interesting article. I'll be working on the review and post it within the next day or so.--CaroleHenson (talk) 02:18, 7 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Overview

[edit]

The article is very well-written and interesting. There are inline citations to reliable sources. Since the sources are Dutch, I will assume that the content was properly paraphrased. The layout, sections, etc. follow Manual of Style guidelines. The article is written with a neutral point of view and covers the subject well, without going into unnecessary detail. It is stable. There are a couple of Meesseen's photographs in the article, which are in the public domain and are properly tagged in commons. I tried to find an image of Meessen and some additional further reading items in English, with no luck.

Content

[edit]
  • In the intro, "Meessen's first experience in the Indies were in that field." - do you mean "experiences" or "was"?
  • In "...where the Meessens established a photographic studio", should it be photography studio?
  • Regarding: "Meessen worked alone, never taking a partner while in the colony, and documented the land and people in the colony" is the first "in the colony" needed - or is there a way to rephrase one of them?

General comments

That's all that I could find, you did a great job!--CaroleHenson (talk) 03:09, 7 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
