World Christianity

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
(Briefly explain why you chose it, why it matters, and what your preliminary impression of it was.)

I chose this article because I already knew a lot about Christianity and I wanted to see if I could gain more knowledge. I think this article and topic matters because it is one of the biggest religions in the world. My preliminary impression of the article was that it was short and concise.

Lead section
This article includes an introductory sentence that is clear about what the article will be about. It includes brief descriptions of the article's major sections as well. The article does not include information that does not need to be there. Overall, it is a concise and detailed article.

Content
The article's content is relevant to the topic of World Christianity. The content is semi up to date with the last information being added in 2015. I do not believe there is any content that is missing besides more present day information from 2021.

Tone and Balance
The article does have a neutral point of view and I cannot seem to find a claim that is heavily biased. The viewpoint that is being addressed is the presence of World Christianity in present day. The article does not persuade the reader in favor of one position or away from another.

Sources and References
All facts in the article backed up by a reliable secondary source of information after looking at each link. I think all the sources reflect the topic very well. Some sources are definitely from years ago. A lot of male authors are in the sources. They really do have a nice plethora of sources from peer-reviewed articles to news coverage. All the links work!

Organization and writing quality
I thought this was an easy article to read, although it was quite boring. No spelling or grammatical errors were found. I think it was well-organized for being so short.

Images and Media
The image being shown is a key pioneer in the field of World Christianity. I thought it correlated to the topic well. The image laid out was visually appealing and adhered to Wikipedia's copyright regulations.

Talk page discussion
The article was rated a start-class on the project's quality scale and has been rated as mid-importance on the project's importance scale.

Overall impressions
I think a strength of this article was how concise it was and how it relayed information. I think it could be improved by adding a little bit more information from present day. The article well-developed.
