 * Name of article: Marc-Adélard Tremblay
 * Briefly describe why you have chosen this article to evaluate. Personally interested in the works of a French Canadian Anthropologist.

Lead

 * Guiding questions

The introductory sentence clearly describe who is discussed in the article. However, it does not provide the reader with the information that the article will only feature the basics of the individual's life (place and date of birth and death, education, etc.) as well as the prizes he won in regards to his works, not the actual works themselves.

The English version of the Lead does not include a brief description of the article's major sections, as the article is rather brief. The only information in the article is cramped together in the Lead.

No, as the article itself is written in the Lead.

The Lead posses all the information presented on the Wiki article.

Organization

 * Guiding questions

The article is well written. However, the sentence format in the Lead is not equally spread, and a few words seems to have been shortened in the same sentence with a few missing words that could clarify the sentence. The sentence I am referring to, is the fourth sentence in which I believe the author tried to summarize all of the different positions Tremblay had occupied throughout his career.

The article is too brief and only mention the awards and honours won by Tremblay, as well as his birth place, education and the position
