Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose to evaluate this article since it was assigned to me for my Network and Internet Technologies course. I believe this article is important since it centers around a service that I, many of my classmates, and users around the world will need to use now as we search for jobs and network with others. My preliminary impression of the article was that it was very well written, extensive, and up-to-date.

Evaluate the article
Lead section

My evaluation of the Lead Section is that it is effective. It defines LinkedIn well and provides a concise overview. The Lead Section gives a great overview and abridged summary on what LinkedIn is. The introductory sentence is clear and concise, and it contains a Content section that is organized.

The Content section seems to be quite relevant, up-to-date, and doesn't seem to pertain any off-topic content.

The tone and balance of the article seems to be neutral. Throughout the article it seems to be that there is no bias for or against LinkedIn throughout the article.

The Sources and References section of the article is extensive and contains various reputable news articles as well as links from the LinkedIn website. Most of the facts in the article have a footnote referencing the source. Many of the sources seem to be current as well.

Finally, the article is well-developed, concise, clear, and easy to read. There seems to be little to no grammatical or spelling errors. The article's talk page reveals that it is a part of 5 different WikiProjects, as well as a Wiki Education Foundation-supported course assignment.
