Ocean Vuong

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
(Briefly explain why you chose it, why it matters, and what your preliminary impression of it was.)

I chose this article firstly, because it is a C-class article. Second, Ocean Vuong is one of my favorite authors. This article matters because Vuong is one of this generation's best and most gifted writers. My initial impression of the article was that it is short. There may be more to add in "Career" and "Personal Life" due to Vuong's ongoing popularity in the literary world and his numerous appearances, interviews, and works.

The lead section of Vuong's article is satisfactory. It provides his name, birthdate, Vietnamese name, and occupations. It also provides career awards and most famous works, such as On Earth, We're Briefly Gorgeous. The lead section can give first time readers a quick overview of who Ocean Vuong is. Overall, the article's content is relevant to the topic. It gives an overview of Vuong's career, personal life, and works. The content on Vuong's page seems to only cover his life and career up to 2021. There is only one update from 2022 on the page. It is missing the fact that Vuong has a new untitled novel coming soon. The article also covers the fact that Vuong and his family originated from Vietnam and immigrated to the US during the Vietnam War, but does not delve too deeply into it. The tone of the article is neutral, only stating the facts and adding in opinion only when that opinion is from Vuong himself, with citations included. The sources are well reputed and mostly unbiased. Additionally, all links work. Organizationally, the article is satisfactory. Each sub-topic is relevant and contains only the information relevant to that sub-topic. All images are relevant and well captioned. They are laid out in chronological order aside from the main picture. The talk page is very short, mostly containing small updates and revisions to the page. Nothing major. The article is rated C-class. The article's biggest strength is being concise. It provides the major achievements and works of Vuong in a short amount of time. The article can be improved by maybe adding more to the "Career" section as Vuong has done many more interviews and appearances than listed. Notable poetry and prose could also be expanded upon. I believe that the article is moderately developed. There are certainly things to be added.
