User:Benberg11/Evaluate an Article

The article I am analyzing is the Portal: American Football Wiki Project. The article contains a slew of information pertaining to the sport of American Football. The article states the history of American Football and how it has developed. I would say that everything in the article was relevant to the topic of American Football. Some of the information was out of date however. For example the list of links to American Football players seems arbitrary and outdated. Not very many current or notorious players are included on the list. In the article there is a great representation of the rules of the game and the origination of the sport. However, there is not much attention payed to the modern history of the sport. Infamous plays, top games and players of all time and other important aspects of American Football seem to be absent from the article. Top players like Joe Montana, Tom Brady, and John Elway should be mentioned along with there accomplishments. The article is a neutral one though, and mostly informative. I checked on the links and they take you to accurate and relevant information as well as many relevant Wikipedia articles. On the talk pa

ge there were a few issues being discussed. They seemed to be close to the point I had observed. Throughout the article there is a focus on super technical detail that the average football fan would not recognize as being relevant to the game. It gives the article an awkward feeling discussing minutiae that is irrelevant to even the most die hard football fan or player. They mention that on the talk page and say that they removed several paragraphs that seemed unnecessary. Other than that the article is properly edited and informative for someone looking to discover American Football.
