Lead Section
The lead clearly establishes that the town of Cincinnatus is a small town named after a roman general. The article also includes a brief summary of the major sections while also not including information that is not in the article. The lead also doesn't use more detail than needed.
Content
The articles content is relevant to the topic. The content isn't entirely up-to-date as the population was last updated in 2020. There is no content missing or content that doesn't belong. The article does not deal with equality gaps and does not address underrepresented populations.
Tone and Balance
The article is neutral, with no claims that appear heavily biased. There are no viewpoints that are overrepresented or underrepresented. The article does not attempt to persuade the reader one way or the other.
Sources and References
All of the facts in the article are backed up by a reliable source of info. The sources are not current but that is because the article is kind of dated. The sources are not written by a diverse set spectrum of authors. There are a few links that do work to check references.
Organization and Writing Quality
The article is well written while also being concise and easy to read. The article does not have any grammatical or spelling errors that I can find. The article is well organized and broken down into sections that make sense.
Images and Media
The article includes images that enhance the understanding of the topic, the images are properly captioned. The images all adhere to Wikipedia's copyright regulations. In my opinion the images are laid out in a visually appealing way.
Talk page discussion
There is no conversation going on behind the scenes of the article. The way Wikipedia talks about this topic in comparison to how I talk about it is a lot more educated.
Overall Impressions
The articles strengths are explaining the history behind the town. The article can be improved by providing more images of the town rather than specifically a farm. I believe the article is well-developed.
 | 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. |
I chose this article because this is where I lived and attended school for the first eighteen years of my life.
The article is well written and explains the history of Cincinnatus pretty in depth while also not going to in depth. The article doesn't have excess information that isn't needed and is short and sweet, only containing information that is needed. This article is a factual summary about my home town, Cincinnatus.
