Article title: Hou BaoLin

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
(Briefly explain why you chose it, why it matters, and what your preliminary impression of it was.)

The cross talk created and performed by Hou Baolin played the role of satirical art and improved the status of cross talk in art. Most of the works can actively reflect real life, create vivid characters, and have strong artistic appeal. Yet the information about Hou BaoLin on wikipedia is only a little. I believe it should be improved and letting more people know the story of this legend.

Evaluate the article
(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.)

Evaluating content
I think everything in the article is relevant to the article topic. But I think there is a lot missing in the biographical story about Hou Baolin, and the current Wikipedia page only briefly introduces this person to people. I hope to add more of his biography, including personal works, artistic style and character experience. I don't think it should be possible to spot any significant equity gaps in this article.

Evaluating tone
Articles are neutral, no statements are heavily biased towards a particular position, nor are views over- or under-represented.

Evaluating sources
Links of the article citations all work, and the source support the claims in the article. Sources are also all from various authors and publications, providing correct information. These sources are mostly neutral with no heavily biased towards a particular position.

Checking the talk page
In the talk page, the editor showed some changes he did. The editor also showed people how to fix any issues with the URLs. This wiki article has been liseted as a level-5 vital article, and I think I should improve it.

The article is of interest to the following WIKIProjects:

WikiProject Biography / Arts and Entertainment	(Rated Stub-class)

WikiProject China	(Rated Stub-class)

WikiProject Comedy	(Rated Stub-class)

Different from the way we discussed in class, this article did not analyze and expand many issues from multiple angles like we did. On the contrary, the article simply provided some information about Hou Baolin's personal information and a little story.
