7 Eleven Article Evaluation
The Wikipedia article posted on 7-Eleven accurately puts forth valid information on the franchise while attending to some of Wikipedia’s elements of quality. The article opens with a clear, easy to understand lead, stating exactly what the franchise is and where they operate. This is an essential feature for users who like to skim articles in order to gain a basic understanding of the information presented. Secondly, the article is presented in a succinct style. The table of contents reads logically: etymology, history, global, popular culture, see also, references, external links. The only misplaced sub-title that may allude to misunderstanding is category number two. Listed under history is the sub-title other products, this strikes me as misplaced. Other products should either be its own category, or should be seamlessly integrated into the contents of the franchise’s history. Thirdly, the article is relatively well balanced. Although the global aspects of the article do take over the majority of its content, all other aspects of the company are well exhausted. Fourthly, the article maintains a fluid neutral viewpoint. The article does not represent any bias and does not present an persuasive or argumentative nature. Rather, the article merely states facts. Finally, the plethora of references provided throughout the article allow the reader to feel as if they are receiving accurate and relevant information. After reviewing the sources provided, the publications seem to represent authoritative sources and note worthy connections, however, the warning banner at the top of the article may convince the reader otherwise. It is essential that this article receives citation verification because this could have an overall effect on the readers thoughts and intentions.

After carefully reviewing the 7-Eleven article it seems as though other than citation verification, the article does not demand any serious concerns. The language fostered does not present any serious issues. Although the lead is quite short, I feel that the subject allows for this brief introduction. Other than this there are not any unsourced opinions, unnamed groups, or topics that are not discussed. The copy editors of this particular article have done a wonderful job of pertaining to Wikipedia’s elements of quality writing.
