 | 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](Briefly explain why you chose it, why it matters, and what your preliminary impression of it was.)
A relatively small article given the concept it deals with. The concept is an important one for non-technical persons to be aware of and helps put a quantifiable value to how "green" synthesis or chemical processes are. Miscommunication of this topic will have far reaching consequences. Of the articles shortlisted only one with a major error to discuss.
Evaluate the article
[edit]Lead
[edit]The article's lead clearly introduces the topic, does not contain any information the rest of the page does not and is brief but detailed enough in introducing the topic. The lead section does not include a brief description of page main sections.
Content
[edit]Equity is not a relevant topic to the content of this article. The article very briefly mentions the topic being a core part of Green Chemistry, and could benefit from the considering the environment benefits that came from atom economy. However, the definition of atom economy present is not quite correct and should be improved. Content is also fairly up to date.
Tone and Balance
[edit]Tone is neutral. no fringe or minority view points are stated.
Sources and References
[edit]Some of the links (e.g. reference #4) do not work.
The reference links that work are either journal articles or books no random in-credible sources are given.
Organization and writing quality
[edit]Well organized article that reads easily.
Image and Media
[edit]Image is appropriate as well as well captioned and placed.
Does not appear to violate copyright policies of wikipedia.
Talk page discussion
[edit]The discussion in the talk page is about a minor detail, given that fact that the major definition presented in equation form is incorrect. Although the concept is explained correctly. Does not appear to be have many Wikipedians working on it.
Overall impressions
[edit]A decent article overall. Concept is explained correctly, however, definition used for equation is wrong. Needs to be updated to formula weight of desired products/formula weight of all reactants.
Examples of various synthesis with both good and bad atom economies is a good idea. Reference Link 4 needs to be fixed. No major flags or issues apart from the definition used in equation.
