The article has a great overview at the top of the page, providing the background of the novel with a short summary, a brief list of awards that the novel has won, and an introduction to its film adaptation. Also, although it does not have many sections of information, it does have a clear with headings and subheadings. So, it is easy to navigate through the article. And, the article does well to stay neutral and not use any words such as “the best” or “the most important,” conveying the writers’ perspective. Moreover, the article is accompanied by the reliable sources, such as the resources from The New York Times, The Washington Post, Pittsburg Post-Gazette and Publishers Weekly. However, the article also contains some unreliable sources from Cliffnotes, YouTube, and Schmoop. Therefore, the Literary Significance and Criticism section could contain information that is not true. Furthermore, the article contains some references to “unnamed sources of information.” The article uses phrases like “Some reviewers.” This is problematic because the audience do not know who these reviewers are, so it may be hard to tell whether the information commented by those reviewers is true or not since the audience do not know who they are. Not only that, the article contains some unreliable sources, so the references to “unnamed sources of information” are more problematic for this article. Also, since the main audiences for this Wiki page are young adults, there should be more visual aids that may attract their attention.
Therefore, I will add more information about either literary criticism or a research that gives a neutral insight about how people think about the novel. Also, I plan to insert an image of the film adaptation because I believe the visual aid may make the page more interesting and prevent it from being too dull, considering that the novel is for young adults. Through these additions, this Wiki page about The Gift will gain more neutrality and credibility and become more visually appealing to the audience.
