This is where you will complete your article evaluation. Please use the template below to evaluate your selected article.


 * Name of article: (link) "Hash Oil" Hash oil
 * Briefly describe why you have chosen this article to evaluate. I think it is a good middle of the road article. It is pretty sufficient in giving an overview on the topic, but has failed to stay updated throughout the rapid development of the cannabis markets.

Lead

 * Guiding questions


 * Does the Lead include an introductory sentence that concisely and clearly describes the article's topic? Yes, lists alternative names, and the basic definition right away.
 * Does the Lead include a brief description of the article's major sections? No.
 * Does the Lead include information that is not present in the article? Yes: sales records
 * Is the Lead concise or is it overly detailed? It is concise, but random with information. Lacks structure and doesn't allude to what the rest of the article is about.

Content

 * Guiding questions


 * Is the article's content relevant to the topic? All content presented is relevant to the topic, but its missing a few main subheadings
 * Is the content up-to-date? No, content is not up to date with what is available in cannabis markets today, whether it be legal or illegal
 * Is there content that is missing or content that does not belong? The many different forms of hash oil are missing. only a few forms represented. More history, and up-to-date trends needed. More up to date photos. showing spectrum of quality is okay, but good oil is lacking representation. people need to be able to see what their dispensary medicine (in any form of hash oil) should look like when they visit this page.
