Talk:Silo (series)

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
Wool is one of my favorite post-apocalyptic novels, and one that I had a hunch might not be as well developed as others. I thought it would be good to review and possibly a choice for my semester long assignment.

Evaluate the article
This article has a strong introductory sentence and a decent lead section. However, the lead section does not describe the major sections of this article. The article's content is relevant but somewhat sparse from books 3-onward. It was last edited December 2021 and seems to be fairly current. I don't believe it addresses an equity gap.

The tone is fairly neutral and doesn't seem biased, but I noted that the Talk section discusses some edits made to ensure that. The first source in this article doesn't seem to actually provide the information that is cited and seems extremely questionable. Most of the rest seem somewhat solid, but I think the sources are a potential site for improvement. One links to a tweet by the author - this seems like a reasonable source for the content, but perhaps not up to Wikipedia standards.

The article seems well organized. The only grammatical issue I saw was the lack of an Oxford comma - I don't know Wikipedia's stance on those.

The article has one photo, of the book's cover. It is a part of two projects: Novels and Science Fiction. Both have it rated as start-class and low priority. The last discussion in the talk page is dated August 2019.

Overall, this is a decent start-level article. It has enough information for people to understand the bare bones of the topic, and a good description of the first volume, particularly books 1&2. I believe there is room for improvement in the synopsis of further books, as well as in strengthening the sources used. I also would like to see a discussion of the themes involved in this topic - I tried to find sources discussing themes within this series and found one discussing Howey's use of Shakespeare that's worth reviewing to see if it should be referenced.
