 | 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. |
Personal Attributes Questionnaire
I chose to investigate this topic of the Personal Attribute Questionnaire (PAQ) due to its lack of evidence on the program itself. Another reason is due to its outdated development. I also think this could be a relevant questionnaire if people are curious on where they stand on a scale of masculinity and femininity.
The introduction of the article has a clear indication of the topic. Respectfully, this is an incomplete article. There are only three references and is not updated page due to the origin of the PAQ being from 1975. There are no images nor outside media references. This was clear and easy to read with the structure well represented due to indications of each paragraph. A strength to this article was its clear indications of each paragraph and the organization itself. Personally, as the reader of this article, I would want to learn more about the PAQ and how it would be beneficial for me to take this questionnaire, what would it prove, and why would the results of taking it be rewarding. But overall, this article needs a lot more information and intel on the questionnaire and the objective of it as a whole.
