Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article because Adele is one of my favorite artists and getting a glimpse to what her songs mean to her and how other people view it is quite intriguing to me. This article matters because many people may listen to her music and not even understand what she is really saying and the message she is trying to explain. In this article the author is explaining that in this specific song "I Drink Wine" Adele is singing about her divorce that she just had recently had with Simon Konecki and how this has impacted her life in many ways and letting go of ones ego. My preliminary impression of the article was that there was so much detail in it. It was kind of crazy to me how this author could describe this song with so much detail and information, it is very impressive to me.

Evaluate the article
(Compose a detailed evaluation of the article here, considering each of the key aspects listed above. Consider the guiding questions, and check out the examples of what a useful Wikipedia article evaluation looks like.)

Lead Section

- In the Lead Section the author gives a very descriptive introduction to not only Adele's song "I Drink Wine" but he goes on to describe Adeles life and includes other songs she has wrote in the past that have similar correlations. In the Lead Section, the author brings up topics that he has separated in the article just giving a brief but informative description of what each section is mainly about. I think there is a lot of information in the lead section that the audience find intriguing and information but I also think it may be too much information. The lead section had more information than all the other sections and in my opinion it should be split up. Having too much information in the beginning of an article may scare people off and others may not want to continue to read the article due to most of the key details being in the beginning of the article.

Content

- I think that the content is very relevant and up to date, not only does the author talk about the song but he also incorporates Adeles life in general. Talking about her relationships and her past, also bringing in facts and dates about the different albums she has made and how she correlates these albums to each other. I don't think many people realize the backstory to songs more specifically to Adele's songs and why she decides to make them and the relationship between these songs. This author does a good job explaining some unpopular topics such as that, it shows the audience a new view and how to judge the song based on the backstory and the description.

Tone and Balance

- I think that this article is neutral, instead of arguing and being biased saying this artist is the best artist in the world they just elaborate and give information on on Adele and let's the audience chose what they think of Adele after reading this article. The author is writing to inform the audience and show them who Adele is and how her life is instead of try to persuade the audience into listening to Adeles music and becoming a fan.

Sources and References

- The sources and references in this article and up to date and correctly referenced. Not only that but all the sources have a working link with factual and accurate information showing that the information that was pulled from these articles are quite true and accurate. Adding to that the author wanted to make sure that they got as much information as they possible could and added 87 different sources for the audience to view.

Organization and Writing Quality

- This article is very well written giving a very big description on Adele and her music using grammatically correct full sentences and not messing up dates or any important information. The author also added different sections in the article so that people who are looking for specific information can find it quite easily. To add on the author also provided many images that relate to each section to give a visual representation. All in all the organization and quitting quality is very accurate and well written.

Images and Media

- Like I mentioned in the last section this article provides many images. What really stood out to me was the first image which was a table describing this song and who it was written by and the most important details about this song. That I think helped others to not only understand the song a little more but also find details about the song on the first page without having to go through the whole article making it easier for them. Adding on to that there is also other pictures of Adele to show who she is and what she looks like then there is a "composition" section which the author put a sample of the song.

Overall impressions

- Overall I am very impressed by this article, like I said in the leading section I was so amazed by how much information was captured in just one song. Not only that but the author then goes on to explain connecting factors about this song, bringing up her life and all the different albums and facts about the albums into the article connecting all the pieces together. The articles strengths are definitely how much information was provided like all the dates and all the names, not only that but also next to the dates and names providing sources and references that are just as accurate. This article ended up having 87 different sources which not many articles use that much sources but that is such a strong suit to have. I think in the leading section the only improvement I would make is dimming down on all the information in the beginning and saving it for the description of the article so you don't spill out all the intriguing information that this article offers. All in all it was a very great article that had a lot of interesting information, I enjoyed evaluating and reading it.
