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]
I am going to evaluate OMORI's wikipedia page.
Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?[edit]
I've chosen to evaluate this page because it is heavily intertwined with my chosen topic; it was created by OMOCAT, who is the artist/studio I am meaning to create a wikipedia page about. I want to use OMORI's page as a reference for a well-written, existing article about similar subject matter.
I am interested in researching OMOCAT and her game OMORI because it is a game I feel passionate about, and OMOCAT is an artist I feel very inspired by.
Evaluate the article[edit]
Lead section: The beginning section of OMORI's page is strong, giving basic details about the game, its release, and its general plot. There are a multitude of linked pages and citations.
Content: All the content is organized well, and relevant to the game.
Tone and balance: Multiple reviews and opinions of the game are covered in the "reception" section of the game, and in other sections, the information is presented in a neutral way. There is no aim to persuade the reader in a certain direction, simply just factual data.
Sources/references: Nearly everything is marked with a citation supporting it, and there is a wide range of references provided. Sources are relevant and most are recent, from the past 5 years or so.
Organization/writing quality/media: All are professionally done, and represents the information well.
Talk page: The article is labeled as "good". I've read through the talk section of the page and there is relevant discussion and communication regarding the article's content.
Overall, the "good" label of the article is well-deserved; OMORI's page is well-written and informative, with no glaring issues.
