User:Awlkr/Evaluate an Article

Lead Section
The lead section in this article is mostly adequate. The first sentence clearly establishes what the article is about, but as a whole, the whole section is too short. It does not provide an overview of the body sections in the article, and entirely omits the literary significance of the novel. It needs to be expanded.

Content
The content of the article is relevant and detailed. The content is up-to-date. There is a slight change needing to be made towards the end about the effect of the novel on popular culture and its adaptations; the section is too short.

Tone & Balance
The article is neutral and balanced. There aren't competing viewpoints in the article, but it strikes a neutral tone, and thus complies with Wikipedia's rules.

Sources and References
The article is well-sourced and all facts are citied, but there could be an addition of sources to further strengthen it. More academic sources could be utilized.

Organization & Writing Quality
The article is organized in a cogent manner that makes sense. The grammar is correct, and the writing flows nicely.

Images and Media
There is only one image. More could be inserted.

Talk Page Discussion
The talk page of this article is messy, but there have been no contributions to it since June 2020. The article is C-class and part of two WikiProjects: Oregon and Novels. It is High-importance in both. This article could use improvement, but starts with a solid foundation.

Overall Impressions
I think that this article is a decent article. There aren't any glaring errors or omissions. At the same time, this article could use some attention and improvement. The editing activity on it is light, so it could be accomplished with minimal interference; it's not that controversial.

Which article are you evaluating?
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (novel)

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose to evaluate this article as part of banned books week, for the class I am taking. I think that the novel is one of the better books I've ever read, and I wanted to see if its Wikipedia page was up to scratch. It was adequate.

Evaluate the article
This article is decent. Wikipedia rates it as a C-class article, and I believe it would be on the top-end of the classification. The lead section could use some expansion in order to cover all of the relevant sections. The content of the article itself is sufficient and correct, with only minor omissions of fact. More information could be inserted to good effect on the quality of the article, especially as regards its literary significance. There isn't disagreement from sources, and the article has a neutral tone. No edits would be required on that front. If I were able, I would add more sources to the article. The book itself wasn't cited, and some sources could be expanded and others added. There aren't enough academic sources. Besides the source issues, the organization makes sense and the writing quality is sufficient. The prose flows, and there aren't errors of spelling or grammar. I think that some images could be inserted related to the topic, such as from a film adaptation. The talk page is a little bit messy, but now inactive. It belongs to two WikiProjects and is a "Level-5 Vital Article" but the quality isn't commensurate with its status. This article could use work to make it better, but at this moment it is sufficient, nothing more.
