Sources and References[edit]

Guiding questions:

  • Is all new content backed up by a reliable secondary source of information? Yes, I see reliable sources added to all added content, from primary sources such as interviews or news pieces.

Organization[edit]

Guiding questions:

  • Is the content added well-written - i.e. Is it concise, clear, and easy to read? It is well written, concise, and easy to read.
  • Does the content added have any grammatical or spelling errors? No, the content appears to be grammatically correct. There are some minor errors, most notably on a second reading: "Watson has taught poetry at DreamYard and is a member of the 2019 Board of Directors." has an awkwardly placed period with regards to citation. Also, "a Portalnd-based nonprofit organization" Portland is spelled wrong
  • Is the content added well-organized - i.e. broken down into sections that reflect the major points of the topic? Yes. All major subjects appear covered.

Images and media evaluation[edit]

For New Articles Only[edit]

If the draft you're reviewing is a new article, consider the following in addition to the above.

  • Does the article meet Wikipedia's Notability requirements - i.e. Is the article supported by 2-3 reliable secondary sources independent of the subject? N/A
  • How exhaustive is the list of sources? Does it accurately represent all available literature on the subject? N/A
  • Does the article follow the patterns of other similar articles - i.e. contain any necessary infoboxes, section headings, and any other features contained within similar articles? N/A
  • Does the article link to other articles so it is more discoverable? N/A

New Article Evaluation[edit]

Overall impressions[edit]

Guiding questions:

  • Has the content added improved the overall quality of the article - i.e. Is the article more complete? The article feels more complete than it's current state. DanaGhouse added a great deal of content and expounded upon the article effectively and efficiently.
  • What are the strengths of the content added? The volume of information has greatly increased. The current article feels more like a stub, and this article feels much, much more complete.
  • How can the content added be improved? My main suggestion would be to double check grammar and punctuation. There are minor issues but nothing a little proofreading could not fix!

Overall evaluation: Excellent, minor errors that need to be checked out.[edit]
