Hacksaw Ridge

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
This is one of the most impactful movies I have ever seen in the sense that it has helped describe how I would like to live my life. It has always inspired me and to this day I think back on the first time I saw it and think fondly of it. More than just that, I want to test myself to prove that I can be neutral and fair in an analysis of one of my favorite movies and historical events.

Evaluate the article
Lead Section:

I believe the lead section does a very good job of summing up the important parts of the events while maintaining a professional tone. I do believe the mention of controversies of Mel Gibson was a veer in a different direction that could have been left for later paragraphs. It seemed as though after the accurate analysis, the introduction began to delve into the article some and deviate from its original purpose.

Content and Tone:

From start to finish the content was very precise and very accurate. The retelling of the movie was devoid of any personal interjection or opinion. The historical accuracy tab of this article was entirely well cited and researched. Very often citing articles and ideas all throughout, the only critique of the content was in the occasional place there was a awkwardly worded phrase or a small grammatical error but far from anything that needed an immediate fix. This article holds no particular viewpoint or stance which is a very positive trait.

Sources:

Much more than just citing sources wherever possible, the article provides mostly extensive and accurate information and well researched sources that provide current and reliable information. A critique I would mention when looking at the sources is there seems to be a few references to more biased news websites and articles. The links are operational and lead to very helpful and informative articles.

Organization:

One very notable and positive detail about this article is its organization being listed from most researched information to more technical information towards the bottom. Everything has a place and everything is in its place with no clutter or disorganization with the exception of the mention of Mel Gibson controversy at the beginning introduction.

Talk Page/Images/Conclusion:

The images used in this article (while few and far between) are helpful and a good aid in the description of people or places. The talk pages highlight only a few issues that have since been corrected in the article and the issues were all very technical and grammatical errors. In conclusion, I believe this is a well written and scholarly article that has been reviewed and examined closely to eliminate all serious errors that require immediate addressing. The sources used are very helpful and reliable, the links are informative, and it is organized in a concise and understandable way. The biggest shortcoming I have observed within the article was simply an issue with sentence structure and one instance of dramatic writing. The article currently has a C status.
