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?[edit]
(Provide a link to the article here.)Disruption (adoption)
Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?[edit]
(Briefly explain why you chose it, why it matters, and what your preliminary impression of it was.) It seemed interesting. I don't know a lot about the adoption or disruption process.
Evaluate the article[edit]
(Compose a detailed evaluation of the article here, considering each of the key aspects listed above. Consider the guiding questions, and check out the examples of what a useful Wikipedia article evaluation looks like.) It seems like the article needs work. Some of the citations seem to be out of date, and they are mostly news articles. I think that the sources should be updated and that peer-reviewed or other scholarly subjects could be used to help enhance the articles credibility. There are no pictures at all within the article. The article lacks important information in the lead section; they do not include the main subjects that are discussed further within the article. The tone of the article seems a bit negative. It does not described the adoption process and it comes off as being 'off'.
