Anagrams (game)

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.)

I chose to evaluate the anagrams article because I was looking for something fun to read about and also something I had some experience with as opposed to a history of some obscure language. I think this article matters because anagrams is a pretty popular word game played by many and has even found its way onto iMessage games. Should someone ever be interested in starting up a game of anagrams or is confused about the rules, this article serves as an important piece of information for their anagrams journey. Upon my first impression, the article seemed adequately written, it was quite short as compared to other wiki articles I have read, but overall seemed to cover all important information appropriately.

After reading through the 'Anagrams' article I've concluded that the article has both good and bad features, but overall could use some work and additional help. I felt adequately informed by the introductory sentences. I knew right away the article was about anagrams and felt well informed about the basic definition/concept of the game. I did feel however, and was later confirmed by another member in the talk page, that parts of the intro could use some reworking to make the presentation of information seem less abrupt. Thought I am not well researched in the topics concerning anagrams I felt the content and topics covered in the article were underdeveloped and could use additional research to build the article up. This conclusion was confirmed by the articles wiki rating, which as classified as 'Start'...or generally needing more research or information. Through further inspection of the talk page I learned that the article seemed to have a copyright issue with some of its photos that had yet to be resolved even 15 years later. There also seemed to be missing citations clearly labeled on the read portion of the article not just the talk page. Overall this article could use some up to date research to ensure it has properly been covered, as well as some updating of the citation and image sources.
