Content[edit]

Guiding questions:

  • Is the content added relevant to the topic? The articles content is relevant to the authors description of the story.
  • Is the content added up-to-date? The content does seem up to date
  • Is there content that is missing or content that does not belong? I do see some sections that could be expanded upon. The first sentence in the plot where Dirk McDonald is introduced. I think the author could add more information on Dirks background. The rest of the plot looks good!

Content evaluation[edit]

Tone and Balance[edit]

Guiding questions:

  • Is the content added neutral?
    • The article seems neutral and unbiased about the character and his life.
  • Are there any claims that appear heavily biased toward a particular position?
    • In the plot it looks like the author gave his opinion on Dirk not being happy because he had a secret. That could appear to the reader as being a little bias. I'm not sure that it is completely bias though
  • Are there viewpoints that are overrepresented, or underrepresented?
    • The view points are not over or underrepresented.
  • Does the content added attempt to persuade the reader in favor of one position or away from another?
    • When reading this article I am presented with more facts rather than opinions

Images and media evaluation[edit]

For New Articles Only[edit]

If the draft you're reviewing is a new article, consider the following in addition to the above.

  • Does the article meet Wikipedia's Notability requirements - i.e. Is the article supported by 2-3 reliable secondary sources independent of the subject? The article is rated a C which is considered a low standard. So, I believe it meets the standard, however for the purpose of this assignment it meets the purpose of evaluation.
  • How exhaustive is the list of sources? Does it accurately represent all available literature on the subject? I believe the author did a thorough job finding sources.
  • Does the article follow the patterns of other similar articles - i.e. contain any necessary infoboxes, section headings, and any other features contained within similar articles? The article flows well, has neutrality and is balance but there is room for improvement.
  • Does the article link to other articles so it is more discoverable? The writer did a good job linking words to other articles.
  • New Article Evaluation

Overall impressions[edit]

Guiding questions:

  • Has the content added improved the overall quality of the article - i.e. Is the article more complete? The content that was added made a big improvement from the older version. As mentioned more content should be added, pictures and headings.
  • What are the strengths of the content added? The author made the article a lot more interesting by going deep into the history of the lawsuit, issues with publishing, and the history of the books first public display.
  • How can the content added be improved? I would like to see a few more pictures (the imaginary settings) expand more on the plot and add some reviews as a link. Otherwise the article's picture is eye catching and the new improvements look great!
