 | Evaluate an article
Complete your article evaluation below. Here are the key aspects to consider: Lead sectionA good lead section defines the topic and provides a concise overview. A reader who just wants to identify the topic can read the first sentence. A reader who wants a very brief overview of the most important things about it can read the first paragraph. A reader who wants a quick overview can read the whole lead section.
ContentA good Wikipedia article should cover all the important aspects of a topic, without putting too much weight on one part while neglecting another.
Tone and BalanceWikipedia articles should be written from a neutral point of view; if there are substantial differences of interpretation or controversies among published, reliable sources, those views should be described as fairly as possible.
Sources and ReferencesA Wikipedia article should be based on the best sources available for the topic at hand. When possible, this means academic and peer-reviewed publications or scholarly books.
Organization and writing qualityThe writing should be clear and professional, the content should be organized sensibly into sections.
Images and Media
Talk page discussionThe article's talk page — and any discussions among other Wikipedia editors that have been taking place there — can be a useful window into the state of an article, and might help you focus on important aspects that you didn't think of.
Overall impressions
Examples of good feedbackA 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. |
Which article are you evaluating?
Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
The article covers a topic that I personally find compelling due to my personal ties with the director and the franchise they have built around the title. The talk page has not seen a message since 2013 as well as the page is also flagged as needing more citations.
Evaluate the article
The lead section of the article does a good job at summarizing the article. The content seems to be doing a fair job at giving a general idea of the context. Tone and Balance is fair, however, could probably use some work. Sources and references, the references are doing pretty good, but it could use more citation. Organizing and writing quality seem to be fair, but could always use some work. Images and Media are very much lacking. The talk page has not seen activity since 2013, and was very sparse at that. My overall impressions are that this article is a good start with a good bit still to be added and polished.
