 * Japanese High School Baseball Invitational Tournament: Japanese High School Baseball Invitational Tournament
 * This article was on the list of Wikipedia stubs. Since I was kind of involved this even before that the article talks about and I thought I can provide more information based on my experience and also some research.

Lead

 * Guiding questions

I think that the lead has great information about overall idea of Japanese High School Baseball Invitational Tournament. Also I read the same article that was written in Japanese, the Lead was almost the same.


 * Does the Lead include an introductory sentence that concisely and clearly describes the article's topic?

 * Does the Lead include information that is not present in the article?
 * Is the Lead concise or is it overly detailed?

The article's content is definitely relevant to the topic. I could add more information about 21st century teams and history of this tournament.


 * Is the article's content relevant to the topic?
 * Is the content up-to-date?

Tone and Balance

 * Guiding questions

This article is very natural. It has several link to other pages that related to the topic which is baseball so that readers can learn more about Japanese high school baseball while they read this article. However, I feel this article only provides very simple information so the article doesn't have much details.


 * Is the article neutral?
 * Are there any claims that appear heavily biased toward a particular position?
 * Are there viewpoints that are overrepresented, or underrepresented?
 * Does the article attempt to persuade the reader in favor of one position or away from another?

Sources and References

 * Guiding questions

I do not see much secondary source but I also think that there are not much source that write about Japanese high school baseball in English. I think that people read articles that were written in Japanese and translated to English.

The links that were on the article were all worked.


 * Are all facts in the article backed up by a reliable secondary source of information?
 * Are the sources thorough - i.e. Do they reflect the available literature on the topic?
 * Are the sources current?
 * Check a few links. Do they work?

Although there was not much writing (because this article is stubs) but so far it is well organized article. Also it is easy to follow and clear. I do not see any grammatical or spelling errors.


 * Is the article well-written - i.e. Is it concise, clear, and easy to read?
 * Does the article have any grammatical or spelling errors?
 * Is the article well-organized - i.e. broken down into sections that reflect the major points of the topic?

Images and Media

 * Guiding questions

There is one picture that shows a high school student who are playing baseball. I could add more pictures to show the place where they play games and so on. I need to be sure how to add pictures on Wikipedia.


 * Does the article include images that enhance understanding of the topic?
 * Are images well-captioned?
 * Do all images adhere to Wikipedia's copyright regulations?
 * Are the images laid out in a visually appealing way?

Checking the talk page

 * Guiding questions

There wasn't any talking. In Japanese there was some conversation.


 * What kinds of conversations, if any, are going on behind the scenes about how to represent this topic?
 * How is the article rated? Is it a part of any WikiProjects?
 * How does the way Wikipedia discusses this topic differ from the way we've talked about it in class?

Overall impressions

 * Guiding questions

The article's status is stub-class. This article seems to be poorly developed right now. I think the article's strengths can be that there is a Japanese wikipedia page that has a lot of information and I can read and understand what it says. I will read some resources that might be written in Japanese then translate to English. That way this article will have much more information.


 * What is the article's overall status?
 * What are the article's strengths?
 * How can the article be improved?
 * How would you assess the article's completeness - i.e. Is the article well-developed? Is it underdeveloped or poorly developed?
