Many people look through a map and dont know where to start when trying to help others with advice or may not know what to look for. So, we all end up getting little snippets of advice that doesnt seem to mean much other then coming across as 'thats really bad' without saying how it is bad or why.
I thought I would put an example of what I do when I review a map when helping out our newer mappers. So, heres a url of one of my recent reviews.

I focus on teaching techniques that have been lost over the years because of lack of good teaching web sites and people left to just learn on their own. The key I have found is to show places in their actual map (via snapshots of hammer) and then a different method to do the same thing and explain why the change was made.
Im sure others can come up with better ways to do this, but I like to think this method is at least a good start on helping people improve.
