Lead

Guiding questions:

• Has the Lead been updated to reflect the new content added by your peer?

• Does the Lead include a brief description of the article's major sections?
• Does the Lead include information that is not present in the article?
• Is the Lead concise or is it overly detailed?

Lead evaluation

I think the lead provides a clear and concise message as to what the article is going to be about. It is only one sentence so it does not include any other sections about the rest of the article, but in my opinion I dont think that is necessary because in the next section, there is greater detail about what is to follow.

Content

Guiding questions:

• Is the content added relevant to the topic?
• Is the content added up-to-date?
• Is there content that is missing or content that does not belong?

Content evaluation

The content that is added so far is very up-to-date and relevant to the direction of the article. Since it is just a draft, there isn't much writing yet, but what is there is good.

Tone and Balance

Guiding questions:

• Is the content added neutral?
• Are there any claims that appear heavily biased toward a particular position?
• Are there viewpoints that are overrepresented, or underrepresented?
• Does the content added attempt to persuade the reader in favor of one position or away from another?

Tone and balance evaluation

Since the article is about LGBT culture in Nashville, so it is clearly directed toward a city and setting which is great since there is not any information on wiki about this specific topic.

• Is all new content backed up by a reliable secondary source of information?
• Are the sources thorough - i.e. Do they reflect the available literature on the topic?
• Are the sources current?

Sources and references evaluation

There is 8 citations used as well as several sources. The are all excellent sources, which is a great start to the article. They all took you to another page in which provided the original information.

Organization

• Is the content added well-written - i.e. Is it concise, clear, and easy to read?
• Does the content added have any grammatical or spelling errors?
• Is the content added well-organized - i.e. broken down into sections that reflect the major points of the topic?

Organization evaluation

So far the draft is clearly organized with an outline of how the rest of the article will be laid out. So far I like the layout of the outline and am excited to see the rest of the article as it continues to be finished.

Images and Media

Guiding questions: If your peer added images or media

• Does the article include images that enhance understanding of the topic?
• Are images well-captioned?
• Do all images adhere to Wikipedia's copyright regulations?
• Are the images laid out in a visually appealing way?

Images and media evaluation

There is only one image on the page which is from Nashville Pride Parade, however I am sure there will be more added as the article continues to be added too.

For New Articles Only

If the draft you're reviewing is a new article, consider the following in addition to the above.

• Does the article meet Wikipedia's Notability requirements - i.e. Is the article supported by 2-3 reliable secondary sources independent of the subject?
• How exhaustive is the list of sources? Does it accurately represent all available literature on the subject?
• Does the article follow the patterns of other similar articles - i.e. contain any necessary infoboxes, section headings, and any other features contained within similar articles?
• Does the article link to other articles so it is more discoverable?

New Article Evaluation

The article provides over 2-3 sources, there are 8. There is a report included, and then other links to websites that provide more information. Since it is a draft there is still work to do but overall the article looks great and will be really interesting to see it when it is finished.

• What are the strengths of the content added?
• How can the content added be improved?

Overall, the start of the article provides enough information into the direction of what is going to be discussed. So far there are 3 different sections; discussion, businesses, and activities that are each going to expanded upon. The article has a great start and organization is great as well.
