My favorite author of fictional books is Agatha Christie. I have done research on her in the past, and everything that I have learned, and more, was accurately represented in the article.

Evaluate the article
The lead section of the article did a very good job of giving a brief overview of the article as a whole. The first sentence was captivating and represented the article well, and the brief summary provides the reader with a quick understanding of the article. All of the different areas of Agatha Christie's life--her history, her career, her romantic life, her hobbies, etc.--were all represented well in the article. I was able to get a clear picture of her life and accomplishments; however, I do wish that her hobbies and interests were added earlier in the article, perhaps when talking about Christie's life--her interests at the time could be listed. To add the interests and influences section at the bottom of the page seems to just be an add-on at the end of the article.

The overall tone of the article was very neutral. When stating the facts of her disappearance in the 1920's, the authors were very neutral and did not agree or disagree with certain standpoints. There were no viewpoints that I noticed that seemed heavily biased or that leaned in a specific way.

In regards to content, because Agatha Christie died many years ago, all of the content that is in the article is up-to-date and is accurate based on its sources. There is no new information on Christie, so the problems of up-to-date content are not present. Many accurate sources were used, and every sentence seemed to have another link or a source to back it up.

In the talk page, there were many interesting conversations. Many useful and helpful edits were made, and I noticed a lot of respectful conversations between editors. This page was very interesting in terms of citations and sources, and helped me understand more about the editing process for articles.

Lastly, my overall impression of the article was that it was developed well, with interesting subheadings and links, and did a good job of depicting the life of Agatha Christie.
