Article Evaluation

Virginia University of Lynchburg is rated as a start-class article, of mid-importance. The labeling of this article as being start-class is accurate because it simple, and compared to other colleges and universities wiki pages. Some sections, that some would deem as important, are missing. There is one discussion on the Talk page. The question posed is unrelated to the editing of the article. The question is asking about a book that was authored by the university.

The writing throughout the whole article is awkward. It takes several times reading a paragraph to understand what is being said. Despite the clumsy sentence structure, I believe this article was formed without bias.

Credible sources are crucial to writing wiki pages, and this page has only 6 sources. While the rule of thumb is to have at least one reference for each sentence, some paragraphs have no references at all. Writing Wikipedia pages should not be based off a persons own knowledge but have credible sources to back up claims or statements. The sources that are cited are do not pertain solely to the information that is stated. Two or three of the links go to web pages that have expired. When additional sections are added to this page, the reference section will expand. It does not pass the CRAAP test, because their are no sources to back it the information.

Just from looking at other higher class college wikipedia articles formation, this page needs a section on academics and campus buildings. The content blurb has history, athletics, notable alumni and faculty, references, and external links. However, the page does not follow the same order and does not have headings from the content list on the article.
