User:1597 CE/Evaluate an Article

Which article are you evaluating?
1597

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose it because it is an interesting year. It provides a list of all important events, births, and deaths in that year. Initially, the article seems like a list of events.

Evaluate the article
It clearly gives a description of all the alternative ways the year can be identified, but it does not identify any notable events that occurred in that year. The lead could be made less overly detailed by only listing a few of the ways the year can be described.

All of the content is relevant to the article, as the events all occur in 1597. It covers a wide range of events, but they are all centred on Europe.

The article is neutral since it just states the events. It does not attempt to persuade anyone as it does not have any viewpoints.

Most facts are not supported by any citations, even though some are obscure events. The few sources are reasonably recent and mostly from books.

The article does not have many complete sentences, but the description of events are concise and clear. It is further broken down into sections based off months which make it easier to navigate.

The images have good captions and are well placed, but more images would make it easier to skim the article.

The only discussions are about fact checking the year on some events that differs between sources and removing some events that are all focused on one person to make it more balanced.

The article gives a good summary of the events in the year 1597, but needs to cite significantly more of them.
