Liz Truss lettuce

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose to evaluate this article because the concept of someone estimating that an iceberg lettuce will have a longer shelf life than Liz Truss' time in office is so interesting to me. Let alone the fact that this person was actually correct in assuming this.

Evaluate the article
The lead section explains the content of the page very well. It defines all terms that are being used and has a very neutral tone.

The content is well displayed and worded. The content seems very up-to-date especially considering that this is a recent event. It doesn't seem that they left any integral information out. And all details are factual.

The tone of the article does seem to lean towards criticizing Truss. While her time in office was not very successful, it seems that the writer of the page is not in favour of her political views. It does not include in the background information that her job was no easy task. While she might not have done everything right, it was a difficult time to be in charge of England.

The article is well worded, and everything is easy to understand.

There aren't many images included however the images that they do have add additional context to the article. The photo of the iceberg lettuce helps explain the setting and they include an image of her announcing her resignation.

In the Talk page, someone discusses a possible name change to the article. Which I have to agree with. I don't believe that this event was widespread enough to have such an ambiguous name. I had no idea what a Liz Truss lettuce was until reading the article.

Overall I think it was a very interesting article, it is very amusing to observe the reaction from something like this. Truss gaining a nickname from it and other politicians referencing the lettuce when discussing her time in office. The article also references similar events the Daily Star has hosted which helps gives background to their type of content and why they would choose to do this.
