Evaluate the article
Lead
 * The Article introduces with a brief history of the origins of CSCW. While this information may be of some value it doesn't help the reader grasp what the field actually entails. The goal of the introductory paragraph should ease the reader into the subject of what CSCW is as a field.
 * There is a noticeable gap of outlining the rest of the page within the intro.
 * Way too bloated. Too much emphasis on the history.

Content
 * Content of the page is generally, although the topic of CSCW within gaming seems out of place and may need its own separate page.
 * Presentation is often less than ideal. Concepts are outlined in a discombulated manner alongside a lack of flow from topic to topic. For example, the article jumps from the intro to articulation work to the CSCW matrix without weaving any of these concepts togethering making for a somewhat jarring experience.

References
 * Some of the references used support content, which is disruptive to the overall flow of the article. In other words, there isn't much cohesion, and as a result, the article reads like two academic articles arguing with one another.
 * As one user points out, the amount of references used for so little content is simply absurd.
 * Some of these sources are particularly old, and perhaps more upfated information is available.

Tone
 * Neutral N/A

Images/Media
 * This article rarely utilizes any images, so this section isn't really applicable.

Talk
 * The talk pages reccomends restructuring the introduction, as I've already discussed.
 * Organization is messy as previously discussed some users calling it bizarre.
 * Lack of general cohesion and the precision is pretty lackluster.

Suggested Edits
 * Revise introduction
 * Move history into its own subsection
 * Discussion of MoCA or newer concepts that build upon that.
