Which article are you evaluating?
Space for Life

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article because my professor is having us do an assignment where we practice reviewing wiki pages. This article looked interesting and seemed like a subject that is relevant to what I am studying.

Evaluate the article
lead

the lead does do a good job at introducing the subject and talking about what the space for life is, a museum. the lead is a good length and not over detailed.

content

there is only a lead so that is all the information in the article. it is up to date as it was last edited Feb 15, 2021 as of Feb 18, 2021.

tone and balence

it is written in a very mutual informative way. there is not a lot of bias in the subject to begin with but the article did a good job being neutral.

sources

the sources did seem a little bit outdated, as the most current source was from 2013. for a subject like this though, it doesn't have to be the most current all the time but it would be nice to have something a little more relevant, maybe to talk about some featured exhibits if that is something the museum does.

Organization

the article was easy to read and as far as I could tell there were no spelling or grammar errors (although I am really bad at catching them). the writing was easy to understand and written in a formate that makes sense.

images

there is one image that is captioned well and helps to understand what the museum looks like/ how it is set up. the caption was short but it was compete in explaining what the photo is of. its in a spot on the page that makes sense as well.

talk page

there was some dissuasion on what the museum actually calls its self as it in a translation from French to English. it was just a minor change with the accents over the letters type deal. its part of the wiki project Montreal, Canada/ Quebec, and museums. they are all start class.

overall impressions

I think this is a good start to the page but I think it can be taken farther. the article says that it brings together 4 museums and I think there could be a deeper drive into that in some potential content paragraphs. the information that is there is defiantly good but it doesn't feel like a compete page yet. I looked at the space for life webpage for a few minutes and it seems like things about their policies and about how their overall goal is public awareness - they have a 'laboratory of possibilities' and though I haven't looked through it much it looks like something that might be interesting and be important to talk about. the lead was a good lead but it didn't go into any specifics and I think there is a lot of potential there to do it.
