Evaluate an article

 * Name of article: Purí people
 * I have chosen to evaluate this article because the Purí people are a group that I've never heard of. Picking a group to evaluate such as the Purí people gives me the opportunity to learn about a different culture.

Lead
The lead doesn't clearly describe the article's topic. The lead is vague. It talks about where they lived and that their tribe became extinct before the 20th century. Yes the article is very short however the main points about extinction and where they lived are located in the lead and in the article itself. No the lead consist of where the Purí people lived and that they became extinct. The lead is very concise. The lead is pretty short and lacks a lot of information.

Lead evaluation

Content
The content is revenant to the Purí people however it is lacking a lot of information. The content is not up to date. One the articles was accessed in 2015 but for the source to be newer, very little information was put into the article. There is a lot of content missing. The article only has to many points which are about where they lived and about their tribe becoming extinct.

Content evaluation

Tone and Balance
The article is neutral. Each claim is evenly represented even though it is very little. All points are underrepresented and their are also some points that aren't even in the article. The article doesn't try to persuade readers in any direction.

Sources and References


All of the facts from the article are linked to other wiki articles or another source.The sources are in a different language, therefore I'm not sure what information they provide. The first source was accessed in 2015 and the second source had no date attached to it.The sources are not written by a diverse group of authors. Both sources are written in Portuguese. The articles do not include historically marginalized individuals. The links to the sources and citations seem to be working.

Organization
The article is not well written. It is easy to read. It is not well written because it is lacking information that is important in getting to know and understand the Purí people.The article seems to be grammatically correct.The article is only broke in two sections, the lead and another paragraph. The article should be broken into another section as well as add many more sections for non existing information.

Organization evaluation

Images and Media
The images in the article do not help or hinder the understanding of the topic Yes the images both have captions that describe what they are. The images appear to adhere to the copyright regulations. The images aren't placed in a bad way but it would have been cool to see more pictures and more information.

Checking the talk page
There are no conversations going on about how to represent the topic.The article is supported by WikiProjects.The Wikipedia page only addressed two points where in class we look at all aspects of a group of people.

Talk page evaluation

Overall impressions
The article overall is very poor. The paragraph that the article has isn't bad but it needs a lot more details. The article needs a lot more information. I would start with research about their homes, values, and religious beliefs. The article is underdeveloped and poor. It lacks a lot of research, content and details.
