Which article are you evaluating?
Violence - Wikipedia

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article because it seemed fairly applicable to the course and a good place to begin. The article is important because the definition of violence, and the examples within, particularly the types discussed, will be important to understanding the deeper social implications. The layout of the article is easy and flows well. Additionally, there are several links to further exploration into the topic.

Evaluate the article
The lead is concise and the information pertaining. A solid definition to begin the article.

The article has relevant information with links to most information, though there do appear to be missing links to some information.

The tone is neutral and there are sections for many points regarding the topic, including who, what, how, and factual prevention.

The media within is factual, with no tone of opinion and succinct captions detailed in the body of the article.

The citations do not have a consistent format, and a few seem to be fairly minimal.

There are several conversation threads, all fairly pertinent to the topic, though one thread is quite the "argument" regarding the definition and its shifting nature. This is handled fairly well and academically. There are also several threads about adding new information, with links, if additional people have the time to do it.

The page is a level-3 and part of several WikiProjects, to include our own.

The article is lengthy and well-developed. Additional citations for the uncited paragraphs and links will strengthen the articles credibility.
