 | 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?
editWhy you have chosen this article to evaluate?
edit(Briefly explain why you chose it, why it matters, and what your preliminary impression of it was.)
Mount Emei is one of the most famous mounts in China, and has a high reputation in Buddhist. My preliminary impression to this article is too simple to match this mountain's status.
Evaluate the article
edit(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.)
The introduction provides a clear and concise introduction to the basic information of Mount Emei. The overview is reasonable but more information could be added on biodiversity and conservation.
The tone is neutral and balanced, but the environmental discussion could be enhanced.
The sources cited are reliable, but more academic references should be added to enhance the authority.
The structure is reasonable and the writing is clear, but some parts could use more paragraphs.
The images are rich, the descriptions are accurate, and the layout is beautiful.
The discussion page is not very active, and there are no major controversies or major changes.
Overall, the article is complete, but it could be further improved by adding environmental and academic discussions.
