Poorly Written Article - Sunnhordlands Kommunistblad

Well written: The existing writing is clear and concise, but could be improved with a greater depth of information surrounding the background and nature of the newspaper. The spelling and grammar of the article are correct, but the overall article could be expanded to give the audience a vaster range of information surrounding the time in which the newspaper was written, as well as information about the audience of the newspaper. The sections of the article could be improved, for example, the lead section could explain the importance of the newspaper in its time, and why it was created and for whom. The layout is correct, however lacks sufficient sections to suitably inform the audience about the newspaper. Verifiable: This article does include a reference list however the references need to be reliable, not using other Wikipedia pages information.

Broad in its coverage: This article does include some history on the newspaper but could be improved through further research that provides more information surrounding the newspaper, and its importance.

Stable: The page is stable with no ongoing edit wars occurring in the talk page.

Illustrated: The page includes no images relating to the newspaper and hence could be improved by using images to improve the knowledge of the audience.
