Harry Styles

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.)

Harry Styles was a big part of my life growing up. He was very popular when he was in One Direction and now he reinvented himself and in his solo career is probably more famous now. The Wikipedia page is great and extensive. As someone who was a Harry Styles super fan from around 2009-2017, and still appreciates his music, I learned a lot about Harry that I did not know previously. Celebrity Wikipedia articles are important for fans and people who are curious about the artist. If it is someone who appear in movies, you can see which ones they are in and say "I have to see this movie".

As previously mentioned, this article is great and extensive. The beginning of this article is a good, well written, introduction. The introductions briefly explains Harry's major career moments. Since Harry Styles is currently really famous, it makes sense that this article is full and up to date showing the latest movie that he was in. Also including that this article is also considered a "good music article". This article talks about all the different things that Harry did and different parts of his career. His early x-factor days, One Direction, solo-career, fashion, and acting. This article also talks about Harry's journey with sexuality, which is an important conversation. This shows for representation in the LGBTQ+ community. Also to show how the media can try to force a topic out of a person who is not ready yet or does not have an idea about it yet. My only criticism would be in the discography, under television for SNL, it says how many times he has been on the show but it does not say the specific episodes that he's been on. The reasoning for the specific episode is so that people can easily take a look without having to do exterior research. This article has a neutral tone. For celebrity articles the more common tones to have would be either looking at the celebrity as an idol, or hatred. This article talks about facts of his life without glorifying or diminishing Harry. This article has over 300 citations, I clicked on four of them, they were all news articles or magazine websites. The magazine websites were interviews with Harry. They are not the most reliable but, the best way to get information about a celebrity. When collecting data from pop-culture data, you have to be skeptical. You have to research and make sure that what you are retrieving is true. Which this article is based on either things Harry has said himself or facts about his career. The organization of the article is good. The article flows nicely, like most celebrity Wikipedia articles, it starts with his early life, to his career, to personal life and at the end, his discography.
