 | 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]My wiki article that I am writing about is strangulation and the Consumer Product Safety Act was the law that allowed the recalling Fisher-Price Rock and Plays that were involved in the strangulation death of 30 infants.
Evaluate the article
[edit]An addition of a list of products that have been recalled/banned would be helpful to see the outcome of the legislation. An explanation of how the Act is used and the process that must occur for an item to be banned/recalled.
Upon clicking some of the links to sources, most do no work and list a 404 error.
The article is rated as start-class and is part of WikiProject Law.
Another editor recommended to discuss a law in the UK, but I don't really think it is relevant to go in depth, I think the article could really benefit from specific recalls being discussed.
