The lead is a typical good Wikipedia article lead. One that is short, to the point, and gives a general overview of the article to come. One criticism about the lead is the fact that the organization in the lead is not consistent with the organization of the article's main sections. I feel that lead could've been stronger if the article followed the structure presented in the Lead: background, history, awards, and adaptations.
The overall content was very neutral and gave a great summary of the book and the author as well as the feedback/reception to the book. The article also goes into detail about almost everything that is needed for a comprehensive summary of what the book is about as well as the context of everything.
The tone of the article is scholarly and informative. It does not take any particular sides in the summary and reception of the book, signaling that there was no bias when writing the article. The article also doesn't use many biased signal verbs also adding to the neutrality of the article.
Overall the article has a very comprehensive reference list with over 120 references. One critique that I had with the references is the fact that some of them included news sources, sometimes which are biased and subjective instead of objective. For a quality article, objectivity is the goal, and having news sources can sometimes compromise this goal.
Overall, I feel that the organization is the poorest part of the article, for it does not have a structure that flows well. The lead of the article should set up the order of the main bodies of the article, and this article fails to do so. The intro goes: history, reception, awards and adaptations, while the actual article is ordered: Plot, Characters, History, Writing, Publication, Reception, Themes, adaptations.
I feel that the images and media of the article is the other weak spot of the article. I feel that the writers could've used more images to enhance the reading experience. I feel that especially the part of the article about the adaptations could have used an image or two to show what kind of interpretations others have had about the book.
Overall, I would say that the Fahrenheit 451 article is a very well written article. Not only is it very clear, giving a great summary of the book in a few paragraphs, but it also gives a lot of detail to those who want to learn more about the book. The article also gives a very balanced take on the context as well as the reception of the book, making it have a neutral and scholarly cadence. Although the article could have had more media to spice up the bland formula, as well as have a better structure to make the reading experience more intuitive, it still did an excellent job of presenting the information to the reader. I feel that a B-Class rating is fitting for the article as a whole.
