Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose to evaluate the Wikipedia article "The Perks of Being a Wallflower (film)" due to its significant cultural impact, particularly among younger audiences. This film was notably popular when I was in middle school, often discussed for its authentic portrayal of teenage life and the challenges associated with it. Given its popularity and relevance, I found it intriguing to delve into how the film has been documented and presented in an online encyclopedia.

The decision to explore this particular article was also sparked by my discovery that it was rated as C-class on Wikipedia. This rating was unexpected, considering the film's widespread recognition and the conversations it sparked about mental health and adolescence. My preliminary impression was that the article might not have met certain Wikipedia standards in terms of comprehensiveness or citation quality, which could explain the C-class rating. This piqued my interest in understanding the specifics behind this classification and what aspects of the film's portrayal or production might have been underrepresented or overlooked in the Wikipedia entry.
