Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article because it relates to ideas that we're discussing in class, and I thought it might be interesting to go a bit more in depth on that.

Evaluate the article
Lead Section: Properly identifies a definition with multiple explanations, however it does include some information that isn’t present in the rest of the article (related fields).

Content: I’m not too familiar with the topic so I might not be the best judge, but the content seems accurate, relevant, and up-to-date.

Tone and Balance: There isn’t much room for opinion in this topic, so it seems as if everything is fair and reasonable.

Sources and References: There’s a plethora of recent, well-researched, and well-reviewed sources utilized throughout the article. Most websites here seem reputable, and the links work.

Organization and writing quality: The writing is clear, concise, and grammatical. However, I do think the organization (relative to the content) can be improved a bit. I’m mainly frustrated with the domain section here.

Images and Media: There aren’t any.

Talk page discussion: Seems confusingly hostile, has significantly more content than the actual page. It’s rated C-Class which seems to reflect what I saw pretty well.

Overall impressions: Still has a decent bit of room to improve, but it’s a perfectly acceptable and working page in its current state.
