 | 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 choose the evaluate Chance the Rapper's article because he is one of my favorite artists. I am also interested in his life before fame and wanted to see if Wikipedia gives a good idea and background about him.
Evaluate the article
[edit]I believe that Chance the Rapper's Wikipedia page gives plenty of detail about his past and present life. The opening paragraph introduces who he is and the achievements he has made in his career so far. It then jumps into his life before fame under "Early Life". It talks about his maiden name, how he was raised, who his parents were along with how he became a rapper. They then lead into the start of his career and give summaries on his come-up, each album he has made along with the year it was produced and how well he did at that time. I believe the sources of the works cited are current and well published.They also provide working links to other pages with more details about him and his music.
