This article is a really good one. I learned a lot about clowns. I think it is a very comprehensive article.

Comment. No inline citations, but lots and lots of "Suggested reading" and the bottom half of the article is random lists.

Please expand the lead to conform with guidelines at
WP:LEAD. The article should have an appropriate number of paragraphs as is shown on
WP:LEAD, and should adequately summarize the article.
The article will need references. See
WP:CITE and
WP:V for more information.
Please provide
WP:CITE information for references/footnotes. See also
WP:CITE/ES; templates like {{
Cite web}} and {{
Cite book}} may be useful here.
This article needs
footnotes, preferably in the
cite.php format recommended by
WP:WIAFA. Simply, enclose inline citations, with
WP:CITE or
WP:CITE/ES information, with <ref>THE FOOTNOTE</ref>. At the bottom of the article, in a section named “References” or “Footnotes”, add <div class="references-small"><references/></div>.
Please reorder/rename the last few sections to follow guidelines at
WP:GTL. (specifically "Quotes")
Per
WP:MOS#Headings, headings generally do not start with the word "The". For example, ==The Biography== would be changed to ==Biography==.
Per
WP:MOS#Headings, headings generally should not repeat the title of the article. For example, if the article was
Ferdinand Magellan, instead of using the heading ==Magellan's journey==, use ==Journey==.
Per
WP:MOS, the first letters of words in heading should not be capitalized unless: 1) it is a
proper noun or 2) it is the first word of the heading.
Per
WP:WIAFA, this article's table of contents (ToC) maybe too long- consider shrinking it down by merging short sections or using a proper system of daughter pages as per
WP:SS.
This article is a bit list-weighty; in other words, some of the lists should be converted to prose (paragraph form).
