Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I saw that the article on Dr. Hajičová was only a paragraph long so I was curious as to how it would compare to the guiding questions provided in the Evaluate an Article examples.

Evaluate the article
The lead section does offer a quick synopsis of Dr. Hajičová and her significance in the field of linguistics and the lead does offer a short description of a couple of recognitions that Dr. Hajičová has received. It does not contain any extraneous details and is concise in its lead.

All of the information presented in this article is relevant to Dr. Hajičová and there is no irrelevant information, though there is some missing information. When following the Charles University link available in the article a reader can see some awards missing from Dr. Hajičová’s article. Dr. Hajičová received an award in 2023 which goes unmentioned in her page and offers a direct quote from Dr. Hajičová on the award’s website. Though not directly addressing Wikipedia’s equity gaps it does stand to show that such a concept is present in the lack of coverage surrounding Dr. Hajičová and her work.

This article is also only available in four total languages, those being English, Arabic, Polish, and Czech.

The article does appear to maintain neutrality, not pushing anything onto the reader and strictly informing the reader of Dr. Hajičová.

There are two references provided in the article and for me one of the links appears to be dead and the second leads to what appears to be the actual award’s site. This site seems to have only been updated by one person since 2016 so I cannot guarantee it is as reputable of a source as is desired by Wikipedia, though I also cannot find any other sites associated with this ACL (the organization behind the award).

The article is easy to follow, read, and I did not note any errors with the writing. There is the main article paragraph, references, and an external links section in the article.

The article features one image of Dr. Hajičová, though it is uncredited. From what I understand is cited as being submitted by the photographer but despite that is cited improperly in the article. The image is also outdated, being a grainy picture from at least 2011.

The article’s talk page only mentions the four WikiProjects interested in expanding the article and that our course has it as an assignment, along with the mention of another student in our class.

Overall I believe the article is quite underdeveloped. I was able to find some more information that could probably help flesh out the article, though I don’t know how eligible the sources with this information would be for a Wikipedia article. The article is only a paragraph long with all of that paragraph just mentioning general information rather than specific facts, such as the significance of Dr. Hajičová’s awards or more specifics about Dr. Hajičová’s work. That said this article is concise and gives some good starting points for further researching Dr. Hajičová. I believe simply finding more information and updating her article would significantly help bolster the status of Dr. Hajičová’s Wikipedia page.
