 | 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]The reason why I chose this article because I believe visuals are just as important as words. Without visuals you can't see how a person is describing a project, idea, description, etc. Visuals help readers understand the text and give support to the information you are providing. Visual communication matters because its what helps companies show there work and products. Visuals are also used because people can show graphs, photos, videos, data, reactions, etc. Visuals are shown in politics, sciences, economics, media, and in other jobs. My first impression of the article was that the author is professional and knows the topic very well. The writer even showed visuals for us to understand what visual communication is.
Evaluate the article
[edit]The author starts the article with the definition of visual communication. Next to the definition is an image of how to tell a story with pictures. When you scroll down a bit, the author later on talks about famous figures like Aldous Huxley, philosopher and writer, and Max Wertheimer, psychologist. Then they mention the different ways images can be analyzed through many perspectives. The perspectives that they talk about are personal, historical, technical, ethical, cultural, and critical perspectives. Then, the article brings the reader to visual aid media and how it can go from simple to advanced. The order in which the author put it was from simple to advanced. It goes chalkboard or whiteboard, poster board, handouts, video excerpts, projection equipment, and computer-assisted presentations. The author then talks about how color is put into perspective. Without color, the visuals don't grab the person's attention and might not connect the image with the text. The writer later on explains the relationship between visual communication and social media. Some relationships introduced are emerging genres and practices, identity construction, everyday public/private vernacular practices, transmedia circulation, appropriation, and control. The article later goes on explaining visual communication in politics and behind these visuals are 10 functions for why political figures use them. The 10 functions are argument, agenda setting, dramatization, emotional, image-building, identification, documentation, societal symbol, transportation, and ambiguity function.
