Sarah J. Maas

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article because Sarah J. Maas is one of my favorite book authors and I wanted to see what content was on her page. This page matters because it gives her fans some background on her life and how her career started. It also gives an overview of her writing and lists her books. My preliminary impression of this page wasn't much. The article is short and not much explanation is given. It lightly touches on her early life and only gives one sentence about her personal life. The article could use a little more work.

Evaluate the article
The lead on this page has a good introductory sentence. It clearly describes the article's topic and has no other information that does not relate to the title. Though, it is lacking detail. The lead is only two sentences long, which is not enough to accurately describe the person this article is about. The rest of the content is relevant to the topic, though some sections are much more developed than others. Her early and personal life sections are very short and lack a lot of important information. Her career section is the most developed, mainly because her career is what she is most known for. It describes how her books got off the ground and gained traction in the publishing world. The next section describes her influences, but not very in-depth. I, personally, would like to know more about what inspires her and where she gets her ideas from. The article is neutral and just states the facts about her life and career. There are no opinions or biases and the article does not try to convince me of anything. Sources include many news articles and interviews with Sarah J .Maas, however, some sources are not the best and could be replaced or taken out. Though many of these sources are only used for listing her books. The writing is clear and understandable and even includes a chart of her books and their status in the Goodreads Choice Awards. Most of her books have been nominated and five have won. The only other picture on the page is one of her next to the lead. Underneath the picture is relevant content that allows a reader to quickly understand who she is. The talk page of this article is not very impressive. There was one question about if an "inspirations" section should be added, but another user thought that the information could be added to an already existing section. This is definitely an underdeveloped article and could use some work. The career section is the biggest strength and her life sections are the weaknesses. The page could go more into her life, writing, and inspirations.
