(Halo (safety device))

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I choose this article because of the relation to Formula 1, and the impact it made on driver safety. This was an important innovation in open-wheel racing, and has since proved its worth by preventing several serious injuries. The article itself provides vital information regarding this device's creation and its importance.

Evaluate the article
This article provides good information regarding the Halo device and its importance to driver safety. As a whole, the article is unbiased, and remains neutral throughout. It provides recent information regarding its use and effectiveness, and is laid out clearly. It is concise and provides enough information to get a general idea of the device, however, more specific information appears to be lacking. Further, in the talk page, there seems to be a discussion regarding the sources, as well as who created it, and where the Halo was originally designed. The article is apart of various WikiProjects, including; WikiProject Automobiles, WikiProject Motorsport, and WikiProject Formula One.

When it comes to the content of the article itself, there is a decent amount provided, including its construction, perception, and even other devices. However, the article is lacking a key piece of information, which is who designed it, and where the Halo was originally made. The article also lacks a sufficient image depicting the specifics of the Halo. Finally, the sources could be varied, and come from more scholarly sources.


 * As a suggestion, I would include in the article who designed the current Halo design, as well as where it was developed.
 * Further, I would also add a section, or image, vividly depicting the Halo itself, possibly highlighting its design and dimensions on the car itself.
 * There is also a lack of information regarding its development, and there should be more information regarding the testing and specific goals they had during said testing.
 * Finally, there appears to be a lack of decent sources. As a final suggestion, I would add or provide more scholarly sources, possible with different views from outside the sport.
