Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I have chosen this article to evaluate because it relates to the theme of ethics.

Evaluate the article
Lead section: The lead does not provide a clear and concise introductory statement about the article's topic. The beginning paragraph just says that Good and Evil are a very common dichotomy and describes what good and bad is in certain cultures and religions. I feel like it's overly detailed in the beginning. What is written in the introduction should be its own topic.

Content: It says on the top of the article that the article possibly has original research, which is not allowed on Wikipedia. I think the Theories of moral goodness section doesn't have enough information and could use more. Some sections have one sentence under it, and that tells me there is a lack of knowledge in that area.

Tone and Balance: The article comes from a neutral point of view. There are no claims that one side is better than the other and there's nothing in the article that persuades the reader to take a side.

Sources and References: There is a missing or empty url in the Notes section. I checked some of the links and they work. The sources are pretty current, I see that the years published go all the way back to the 1970s. The sources are written by a diverse spectrum of authors. I don't think the sources are pretty thorough, I clicked on a link and it sent me somewhere that did not really relate to good or evil in my opinion.

Organization and Writing quality: The article is well organized and well-written. While I was reading it, I didn't see any grammar mistakes or spelling errors.

Images and Media: The images relate to the topic of good and evil. The pictures represent what the topic is talking about. The images are not very visually appealing, but they are well captioned.

Talk discussion page: The discussions are about adding things to the article and merging it with another article. The article is a level 3 vital article. It is rated as C class.

Overall impressions: I think that this article can use a lot of new edits. The strengths in this article is the contents and sections that is has. It just needs to be more information in some of the sections and it also needs updating. In my opinion, the article is underdeveloped. It hasn't been edited in years and it could use new information.
