Which article are you evaluating?
Andy Schor - Wikipedia

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose Andy Schor because he is the Mayor of Lansing which is close to us. When briefly looking at his Wikipedia page there is only one paragraph talking about his career life, though he has been in office for many years. Also, since he doesn't have a lot of information, he has very few references on his page. The article it only tell us about the positions he has held and doesn't tell us about the policies he's endorsed or put into motion.

Evaluate the article
The article starts off well by letting us know the type of article we will are reading and informing us that Andy is the Mayor of Lansing and part of the Democratic party along with other information. The paragraphs explaining his early life and education along with his career are very scarce information and only around a paragraph long. The information about his career is relevant to the topic but it is not up to date. The most that is said in the article is when he was elected and where he served/ worked but is not updated with the policies that he endorses or those that he has recently put into motion to better further the community. It also doesn't have any information about how any of the decisions he's made in office have/have not affected the community. Since there is not a lot of information on his stances on issues there is a neutral tone to the article because there are not any sides to lean to. Some of the references used are not as reliable since they are not scholarly articles or academic journals but are .com articles found online. There are a couple of reliable sources that are from government websites. The most current references they have listed are from 2021 which is a good sign. The article is well written and easy to read and has minimal writing errors from what I have seen. In the article, there is only one picture of Andy Schor. On the talk page the only conversation if from an editor informing about the things, he added in 2018. The article is weak and not well-developed. The article's main problem is the lack of information that is provided. If it were to be updated with more reliable information, it could become a very well-developed article. If they were to add more of his policies and the things he has put in-to place since he has been in office, it would be able to better inform the readers.
