I am evaluating Wikipedia's Aztec Empire page.

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose to evaluate the Wikipedia's Aztec Empire page because the Aztec Empire was my favorite empire to learn and talk about while in elementary school, and even read books about it while I was nine. I think it is important to learn about the Aztec Empire because their civilization was quite advanced and powerful before the Europeans arrived. The Aztecs had well-developed agriculture techniques, built massive temples, and built strong alliances that made them successful. My preliminary impression of the article was that it seemed extensive but the information was well-organized into sections.

Evaluate the article
The lead section of the article was four paragraphs long, but did an excellent job summarizing the crucial points of the Aztec Empire. The four paragraphs in the lead section were written in the same order as the information found in the other content sections below the lead section. The lead section included an introductory sentence that summarized what the Aztec Empire was, and all of the information found in this lead section was concise and did not include information that was not found in the content sections of the Wikipedia article.

The Aztec Empire page was last updated on August 25, 2022, so the information presented in the content section was up-to-date. All of the content found this page was relevant to the Aztec Empire and did not include any missing or irrelevant topics that did not discuss the Aztec Empire. The article did address groups of people that are not talked about as often because the Aztec Empire itself is not something that is regularly brought up in conversations today.

The tone of the article is neutral, does not contain any informal or slangy language, does not have any biased claims or viewpoints that would prevent accurate information from being discussed in the article. The article also does not attempt to persuade readers to follow certain viewpoints and disregard others.

The facts found in the article are supported by reliable primary and secondary sources of information. Much of the information found in this article comes from university professors and researchers that must have spent years searching for accurate and unbiased information that would be suitable to be written by Wikipedia editors years later. The sources are thorough, current, and have a wide variety of authors. Some of these sources are peer-review journals, so I can assume that there are other similar peer-review journals that can provide more information about the Aztec Empire. The links provided work fine.

As mentioned before, the article is concise and well-organized into sections that are grammatically correct and do not contain any spelling errors. The images presented in this article are also relevant to the topic and are appropriate for Wikipedia readers. The images found are aesthetically arranged and have appropriate labels for them that helps readers understand what the images are. None of the images presented in this article violate Wikipedia's copyright regulations. There is no talk page found underneath this article.

The Aztec Empire page's overall status is excellent. The information for this topic is relevant and organized in a clear and concise manner. There is no missing or misleading information in this article. Some strengths of the article include the content section of the article, since it is organized into categories and subcategories that allow Wikipedia readers to easily navigate through the article. Another strength is the use of charts, images, and lists to organize the information clearly. This article is well-developed, thorough, and deserved a 10 out of 10.
