Charles III

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 am evaluating the Wikipedia page for the current King of England, King Charles III. I chose to write about this article due to the recent news about his recent diagnosis of cancer. My preliminary impression is that the article is quite up to date, especially with his level of fame.

Based on my understandings and reading of his article, I can tell that the Lead section is very detailed. It starts with a clear introductory sentence explaining his DOB and his title, King of the United Kingdom and of the Commonwealth Realms. The lead section is quite detailed in his basic information, explaining not just what he does but his familial connections as the premise of royalty in the UK is based on the bloodline. While going through the entirety of the article, I can say without a doubt that it is extremely detailed and very up to date. As King Charles was just diagnosed with cancer yesterday, this article already has a section with this update. The article talks about both King Charles and the Royal Family in a very neutral way, while also mentioning the controversies (yet not taking a stance or side). The article dives into many different aspects of both his life and career, looking at a birds eye view but also taking a semi-deep dive. The article also has 317 sources/footnotes to back up the plethora of information stated. The writing throughout this article is clear and well organized and most importantly, makes sense. It isn't overly written with complicated language and allows a general reader to be able to understand the content. The images used throughout the article are selected for purpose and are meant to exist to help the readers better understand the article. Upon viewing the Talkbox, I actually saw there is current debate on whether or not his profile photo should be changed to an updated picture with higher quality. There is currently a debate going on about whether Wikipedia can legally use the photo. Overall, this is a very well written, updated, clear, well organized article.
