 | 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 chose this article to evaluate because it covers an award-winning documentary but lacks depth in key sections, such as Reception, where additional reviews and critical analysis could improve its comprehensiveness.
Evaluate the article
[edit]The 73 Cows Wikipedia article provides a basic overview of the documentary but lacks depth in key areas. While it effectively summarizes the film’s premise and mentions its BAFTA win, the article could be expanded to include more details about its production, themes, and impact. The Reception section is particularly underdeveloped, with minimal critical reviews or audience responses, despite the film’s recognition. Additionally, the article relies on a limited number of sources, and incorporating more reviews from reputable publications would improve its credibility. Structurally, the article is well-organized but brief, and adding subsections within Production and Reception could enhance readability. The Talk page shows little discussion, suggesting a lack of engagement from editors, making this a strong candidate for improvement. Expanding the article with additional reliable sources and critical perspectives would significantly enhance its quality and usefulness.
