Evaluate the article
The Lead Section of the article about the Registry of Interpreters for the Deaf includes a clear and concise introductory sentence that is accurate. It provides a history of the formation of the organization in the Lead Section but does not provide a History in the contents section. The content is relevant to the topic but is not up-to-date with the changes that RID has experienced in the past two years. RID now has a board president and there have been changes to the mission statement. Much of the information is approximately 8 years old. It does not clearly define the need or the reason for having this organization and that could be made clearer as to how the organization supports the Deaf, Hard of Hearing and Deaf Blind populations. This article is very neutral, it is a basic factual piece about the organization. This article is very outdated and there are not very many scholarly sources for the development of the organization listed. There may be some more now. The links that are there do still work. I am not an editor so for grammatical or spelling errors I am not the one to ask but it is well written and the voice of the article is very to the point and presenting the facts. There is no reason to have any narrative for this organization. The contents could use a history page and have the history included into the body of the document. There are no images. There are a few tables and they are laid out well. While looking at the Talk Page discussion the last discussion was in 2013 and states that the Code of Professional Conduct was removed because of Copyright violation. There are some spaces at the bottom that list that it is a Start-Page for various classifications and is relevant to 5 different WikiProjects. The overall status of the WikiPedia page for the Registry of Interpreters for the Deaf is outdates and although it is neutral and factual it needs to be updated with more current information.
