Link: Feminist Rhetoric

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article because it seemed interesting and like it is a relevant topic in today's world.

Lead section
The lead section has introductory sentences that explains what feminist rhetoric is and is not. I don't think this section provides an overview of the article's major sections (history, challenges, etc.). The lead is fairly concise and mainly focuses on defining feminist rhetoric. It does not include information that is not present in the article.

Content
The article's content is relevant and up-to-date. The article deals with Wikipedia's equity gaps because it discusses women and "scholars of color." It also mentions that "transgender discourse" is an element of feminist rhetoric. The content provides a general look at many aspects of feminist rhetoric, but it does not delve deeply into any of them.

Tone and Balance
The article is mostly neutral, but could be viewed as supporting feminist rhetoric. The article does not really discuss any opposition to the feminist rhetoric movement. It does not try to persuade readers toward any one point of view. The article accurately described how minority groups have influenced feminist rhetoric.

Sources and References
Facts in the article are backed up by reliable secondary sources. There are many academic journal articles cited. I clicked a few links and they all worked. There are sources written by historically marginalized authors, such as bell hooks.

Organization and Writing Quality
There are many sentences that were wordy and difficult to comprehend. The authors overuse the words "rhetoric" and "canon." There are only a few grammatical errors. The article is organized with sections for the major themes.

Images and Media
The article has two images. The caption for the photograph of bell hooks is vague and does not have a period on the end. The second image is well captioned. The images are on the right margin of the article. More examples of feminist rhetoric would be helpful.

Talk Page Discussion
The article was nominated for deletion in 2018, but the discussion decided to keep it. They decided to keep the article because it is on a notable topic and could be edited to improve it. The article is part of WikiProject Feminism and WikiProject Writing. The talk page is just a few students asking questions about whether they should move a paragraph.

Overall Impressions
The article's overall status is pretty good. It is on a notable topic, cites reliable sources, and is unbiased. The article is organized well and touches on several aspects of feminist rhetoric. It could be improved by making the sentences easier to read and using less jargon.
