Article Evaluation
editThe article I picked was "Concussions in American football". There were several things I noticed in this article. I think that several formatting changes could help this article out. The article greatly focused on Concussions in the National Football league. One problem I found with this was that the subheading "A League of Denial". This author of this section seemed very biased and anti-NFL. While I do agree that there were many things the NFL has done wrong, the NFL has also funded many studies and technologies which the article talks about, but it is just further down the article. I think that this section should be moved up into the NFL section because it seems deceptive to me. I also think that this "A League of Denial" could be updated because there are not many recent dated cited and in the world that we live in, concussions are a very controversial topic.
The citations in the article are good for the most part. One thing that I saw was that there were several wiki-links that didn't direct properly, such as "Men's Lacrosse" and "Men's Ice Hockey". The article is part of several Wikiprojects, most being about football. On the talk page there were some unrelated content that had nothing to do with the article. The article is also a C-class article.
