 | 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]Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
[edit]I chose this article because I love music and love to know the history behind it. I also enjoy to see what has inspired music today and to see the actual item that has inspired an artist to create a song. I enjoyed this article because not only do I love music but the building that houses the items is just as intriguing.
Evaluate the article
[edit]The reason I chose this article was because it had caught my interest. The way it caught my interest was one by the title of the article and two the layout of the article. I appreciated how the author of the page put a picture of the museum and a map of the located of the museum. The article is written in a neutral non bias way which is very appreciated, for the fact that some people may or may not like what the article is talking about. When you look at the talk page people are being helpful by stating new facts that they would like to see added to the article.
