Which article are you evaluating?
Television criticism

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article because I have always found the idea of television and film criticism interesting and I chose to focus on television. Criticism has a big impact on the success of a television show or film. My first impression of the article was that it was well written and researched, but served more of an opinion piece than an encyclopedia piece. I think this article would work better if it gave more history and definition of television criticism.

Evaluate the article
The article has a great introductory sentence and a clear, concise lead section. It covers everything in the article, however, it mentions that it was originally developed for children's content and it is not mentioned again in the article.

The content of the article is relevant and up to date. I believe the article could have elaborated on the history of television criticism and how it has evolved with the evolution of television production and viewing. I don't believe there is any content that does not belong in the article, but the author could have added more viewpoints in addition to the feminist and African-American.

The tone of the article is neutral and does not attempt to persuade the reader in any way. There are some viewpoints I believe to be missing such as the Hispanic/Latinx viewpoints and scholarly viewpoints, among others.

The article is cited well and the citation links do work. The author used all print sources so the links take you to the books purchase sites. There are external links to online articles that work as well.

The article is well-written with no grammatical errors and is organized well. There are no images or media attached to the article.

The talk page discusses some of the edits the author made, as well as a comment from a Wiki user that had nothing to do with the article.

Overall, the article is well-written, but could be developed further to over more history, evolution, and viewpoints.
