Which article are you evaluating?
Outreach

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 have chosen this article to evaluate because I believe that in it's current state, it is missing a lot of important information. The article is very short, and although the article provides a kind of structural framework (outlined in the "categories" subheading), there isn't any follow up information or research to fill out the article.

Evaluate the article
(Compose a detailed evaluation of the article here, considering each of the key aspects listed above. Consider the guiding questions, and check out the examples of what a useful Wikipedia article evaluation looks like.)

Lead Section

The lead section is very concise and streamlined. I believe that is has all of the necessary components to holistically explain what outreach is, what its primary purpose is, and the ways in which outreach can be modified to adapt to certain conditions and needs. It does not describe the articles major sections.

Content

The content seems relevant and up-to-date, although in general this article does not have enough information. It does not directly deal with Wikipedia's equity gaps- the entire article is about underrepresented populations, but it does not break down the historic roots of why and how these groups came to be, and what the demographic breakdown of these populations might be. I do however believe that this is not necessarily the articles duty- there are other articles on wikipedia that already cover this information. I think it could be helpful to mention and hyperlink these relevant articles.

The tone, sources, and writing quality look good. I think my contribution to this article will be reorganizing it and outlining the different types of outreach in a more effective and concise way, and filling out these outlined portions. I will also consider adding meaningful images that relate to each subsector.
