Which article are you evaluating?
Mycroft Holmes

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article because it is related to the topic of our course: detective novels. Mycroft Holmes has an interesting presence in the Sherlock Holmes novels and TV show, as a relative of the quirky Sherlock who shares some of his traits but is still quite distinct.

My preliminary impression of the article was that it was mostly well-written and divided into clear and significant sections. There were some aspects of the writing style that I would change.

Evaluate the article
The lead section is concise and clear, including relevant information such as years of appearance in original source material and relationship to the better-known Sherlock Holmes. I am not sure that it is significant enough to include how much older Mycroft is than Sherlock Holmes in years. The content is relevant and up-to-date including references to Mycroft Holmes in popular media as recently as 2023. The tone remains neutral throughout the article, even when discussing topics like differences in personality traits. The article is organized but some sections lack sources, such as the one on adaptations and specifically film adaptations. There is only one image, which is an illustration that is caption appropriately. There few discussions on the talk page and the most recent comment is from 7 years ago. My overall impressions are that the article could use more improvement on recent developments. Since the character is so old, earlier references are well-cited but newer ones are lacking.
