Article Evaluation
The wikipedia article on the Information Cycle was evaluated.

- Starting sentence is poorly worded, sounds like cycle is exclusively for reporters and scholars rather than information consumers.

- The first citation leads to a "page not found" error.

- The article in general is poorly worded and tough to follow.

- Unnecessary quotes around the word "naturally," suggests some negative connotation around the concept. Otherwise, the article is mostly neutral.

- Short article, does not do anything but describe the steps of each stage in the cycle.

- Other citations are true, the information in them supports the information in the article.

- Could add information on the timeframes of each step, their uses, and where most people get their information along the cycle.

- The article lacks a talk page, indicating no editing has been done to it.

- The article is rated poorly. It is called a culture-related article and is a stub.

- Wikipedia seems uninformed and not fleshed out, whereas the discussion in class was more detailed and comprehensive.
