Evaluate the article
Lead Section:

I think the lead section contains useful information pertaining to the encyclopedia, however it does not seem concise and it does not include a brief description of the articles topics.

Content:

The content was all relevant to the topic however I felt it lacked in the historical context of encyclopedias and how they were introduced to modern day society (and why/when people started to collect them). After our reading this week for class, it would be interesting to see Foucault mentioned in the article as well as the reason behind peoples choices to become encyclopedia creators/editors.

I thought it was interesting to learn the four different major elements of encyclopedia, and the characteristics section was a good addition to the page.

Sources

Many of the citations are older than 2017 and 2010, however they seemed to be relevant to the page. It would be great to include several more recent sources such as the one we read for class.
