Which article are you evaluating?

La Rinascente

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?

(Briefly explain why you chose it, why it matters, and what your preliminary impression of it was.)

I chose this article as it talks about an Italian chain of department stores I am very familiar with. My preliminary impression is that it missed some information about store locations, historical development of the brand, and recent renovations of some stores. The page in italian has a lot more information compared to the one in english.

Evaluate the article

(Compose a detailed evaluation of the article here, considering each of the key aspects listed above. Consider the guiding questions, and check out the examples of what a useful Wikipedia article evaluation looks like.)

Lead Section

• The lead section is missing a list of the 8 cities where Rinascente currently has open locations.
• The store's participation in International Association of Department Stores is not further explored in the following sections.

Content

• The article is missing developments of the brand in recent years. It does not talk about the renovations in Torino, Firenze, and Roma Fiume. The launch of the online shop is not mentioned.

Sources and references

• Some sources such as creattiva.com and www.domusweb.it might not be reliable. The first source I mentioned does not have a functioning link.
• The last source (La Rinascente at core of CRC's global ambition) has no link, no information, and it is not numbered

Organization and writing quality

• The table of contents should be organized more clearly. Most headlined should be under a "History" section

Images and Media

• The logo is outdated, the brand has come up with a new one.

Talk page discussion

• The talk page is empty.

Overall impressions

• The article is well written but lacks major information. Just by looking at the italian wikipeida page, one can see that a second section about the brand's strategies and developments needs to be added.
• Sources can be improved by looking at newspaper articles, reliable secondary sources, and creating functioning links.
