Kingston City Library

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?

[edit]

I chose it because it was about a building that sort of interested me. My first impression of the that it was a short article and it could use some more details and images.

Evaluate the article

[edit]

Lead Section

[edit]
  • Yes, the Kingston City Library in Kingston, NY.
  • It only has two sections: building and history. Yes, it briefly talks about them.
  • No, it doesn't.
  • It's concise and to the point.

Content

[edit]
  • What little is written, seems relevant.
  • The most recent article was from 2011, so not super up-to-date.
  • In the building section it doesn't talk about the inspirations of the building, who designed it, or what the floor plan is like. Those could be added in this section.
  • No equity gaps and no misrepresentation.

Tone and Balance

[edit]
  • It's neutral.
  • No biases.
  • No misrepresentations.
  • No viewpoints undescribed.
  • No persuasion.

Sources and References

[edit]
  • Everything is backed up by another source.
  • One of the sources is available literature.
  • Most current is 2011.
  • Half are from the same person and the other half are all different authors.
  • Yes, there is always other information available.
  • Half of the sources used no longer can be found/the page no longer exists.

Organization and Writing Quality

[edit]
  • It's clear, concise, and easy to read.
  • No grammar errors I could see.
  • It's well organized by topic. It could use some paragraph restructuring though.

Overall Impressions

[edit]
  • Class-C? The article could use some work in all aspects, some needing more work than others.
  • The strength is it's well organized.
  • The article could use more information about the building as a whole. The possible inspirations, any historical events that took place there, anything new since 2011 (when it was last touched), and maybe some more pictures.
  • The article is underdeveloped, it could use quite a bit more information.
