 | 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]
Physical fitness#High intensity interval training
Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?[edit]
The reason I am choosing the article is that the article is pretty self-related. I have properly trained for two years and I learned all my fitness knowledge from YouTube. This is the first time I am have experience with reading an fitness article on Wikipedia.
Evaluate the article[edit]
For a beginner who never has experience with the fitness field, reading this article will definitely give him or her a general idea about the fitness world and the related topic of it.
I like how the article conclude the exercise into two categories: aerobic and anaerobic exercise since the essence of all kinds of exercise are really about those two main categories. However, when I was browsing the training part for section 4, the article only listed HIIT (High intensity interval training). I understand that HIIT is very popular all over the world based on the calorie consumption and strengthen the cardiopulmonary and blood circulation system. I would say that besides HIIT, there are other training method such CrossFit, Bodybuilding, and plyometrics training.
Since the article is for all people with different level of fitness knowledge, I certainly want the article to show a boarder content for the training section. But overall, the article is very informative and useful.
