 * Guggenheim Abu Dhabi
 * I am very interested in art and its global implications. I had no idea that there was a Guggenheim museum in the UAE, and greatly enjoy the New York museum.

Lead

 * Guiding questions


 * Does the Lead include an introductory sentence that concisely and clearly describes the article's topic?
 * Does the Lead include a brief description of the article's major sections?
 * Does the Lead include information that is not present in the article?
 * Is the Lead concise or is it overly detailed?

Lead evaluation:
The lead includes a concise and descriptive introductory sentence. It somewhat includes descriptions of the article's major sections, as it touches on early history and other Guggenheim museums, but not key aspects such as the design of the building and types of artwork that will be included. The lead does not include information not present in the article, and is concise.

Content

 * Guiding questions


 * Is the article's content relevant to the topic?
 * Is the content up-to-date?
 * Is there content that is missing or content that does not belong?
 * Does the article deal with one of Wikipedia's equity gaps? Does it address topics related to historically underrepresented populations or topics?

Content evaluation
The content is relevant to the topic, but not up to date, with the most recent source from 2016 and discussions of plans for 2019, but not what reallyy happened. The ongoing construction details and whether or not the project was resumed is missing. By addressing culture in the Middle East, it addresses a somewhat underrepresented population from the lens of the West.

Tone and Balance

 * Guiding questions


 * Is the article neutral?
 * Are there any claims that appear heavily biased toward a particular position?
 * Are there viewpoints that are overrepresented, or underrepresented?
 * Does the article attempt to persuade the reader in favor of one position or away from another?

Tone and balance evaluation
The article is neutral and does not appear biased. There is no argument.

Sources and References

 * Guiding questions


 * Are all facts in the article backed up by a reliable secondary source of information?
 * Are the sources thorough - i.e. Do they reflect the available literature on the topic?
 * Are the sources current?
 * Are the sources written by a diverse spectrum of authors? Do they include historically marginalized individuals where possible?
 * Check a few links. Do they work?

Sources and references evaluation
For the most part, the facts in the article and sources are thorough. However, it appears as if they included some opinion based articles as sources, which may skew the facts. The sources are not current, with the most recent in 2016. The sources are written by a diverse spectrum of authors. The links work.

Organization

 * Guiding questions


 * Is the article well-written - i.e. Is it concise, clear, and easy to read?
 * Does the article have any grammatical or spelling errors?
 * Is the article well-organized - i.e. broken down into sections that reflect the major points of the topic?

Organization evaluation
There are no glaring organizational or spelling errors, but the writing may certainly be adjusted to flow better.

Images and Media

 * Guiding questions


 * Does the article include images that enhance understanding of the topic?
 * Are images well-captioned?
 * Do all images adhere to Wikipedia's copyright regulations?
 * Are the images laid out in a visually appealing way?

Images and media evaluation
Yes, the article includes a computer rendering of what the museum is expected to look like. However, it would be very useful to include some photos of artwork that may be featured in the museum, or construction progress.

Checking the talk page

 * Guiding questions


 * What kinds of conversations, if any, are going on behind the scenes about how to represent this topic?
 * How is the article rated? Is it a part of any WikiProjects?
 * How does the way Wikipedia discusses this topic differ from the way we've talked about it in class?

Talk page evaluation
There has been very little discussion behind the scenes, only questions regarding a now deleted image. The page is part of several WikiProjects: Museum, UAE, and Abu Dhabi. It was rated a C, with high importance for the UAE project.

Overall impressions

 * Guiding questions


 * What is the article's overall status?
 * What are the article's strengths?
 * How can the article be improved?
 * How would you assess the article's completeness - i.e. Is the article well-developed? Is it underdeveloped or poorly developed?

Overall evaluation
The article is incomplete, and needs to be updated. Its strengths include a clear and concise discussion of the topic. However, the writing lacks a flow, and the most recent source is from years ago. The article may be improved by simply adding the new, relevant information.
