Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article because it is relevant both to my coursework and my job/career. It's a large page for a major aspect of archives and digital curation, and seems like a robust article.

Evaluate the article
Overall, this article is well developed and thorough. All of the information within the article appears relevant to the topic, and there is a lot of terminology that is explained. The article has a neutral tone and seems well-balanced. The article is full of citations to a variety of reputable sources, although there is one statement marked as “citation needed” in the second paragraph of the lead section.

I think there is room to improve the structure and organization of this page. Firstly, the second paragraph of the lead section is not drawn from the article’s content, but rather contains more detail on one of the topics. I would recommend making this paragraph a bit more general and shifting the specific details into the body of the article. I would also recommend revisiting the section headers. For example, I would bring “Examples of initiatives” and “Large-scale initiatives” under the same higher-level heading.

This article was the subject of a Wiki Education Foundation-supported course assignment and is listed as of interest to several WikiProjects: Libraries, Internet, Digital Preservation, and Collections Care. A lot of different individuals have made contributions to the creation of this page, resulting in a well-fleshed out, though still evolving, article.
