Article Evaluation: Institute for the Future
[edit]-The page begins with a main idea statement about the Institute, its purpose, and how it began.
-The history area is thorough and provides information from idea to implementation, including key contributors and landmark moments.
-The article lacks major accomplishments by the institute and how they've influenced overall society. Though there is information about past/current projects, more information can be provided regarding their impact and external recognition received.
-A lot of the in-text citations refer to other wikipedia articles.
-The talk page pointed out self-promotion conflicts, and also the removal of information that did not have sufficient citation.
