EVALUATION on the article Translations

Lead section The article has a clear and detailed overview to provide general information such as the play's setting,themes and some historical background to the public. Key words are linked to related pages for readers seeking for broader knowledge. Structure The article seems well structured as all subtitles represents and corresponds to the contents underneath each of them.Yet, I would put the section of Historical references prior to the section of Plot. Since the play is built within a real historical context, understanding the historical circumstances is necessary for a better understanding of the plot as it might be directly or indirectly influenced by what happened before the play is written. Content balance The content doesn't appears to be well balanced as I believe that more aspects need to be incorporated to the article to achieve such goal. References to the historical background are provided for better understanding of the play, but other aspects such as symbolism and themes should be developed as well. However, they only get mentioned roughly at the lead section: ''Friel responds strongly to both political and language questions in the modern-day Republic of Ireland. ; and in the end of the Plot section: Friel's play tells of the struggle between England and Ireland during this turbulent time. The play focusses mainly on (mis)communication and language to tell of the desperate situation between these two countries with an unsure and questionable outcome.'' Neutral tone The article is mostly written in an objective tone because the major contributions are facts stating. Sometimes I find that words and adjectives employed describing the work are prone to praise the author, yet no opposite point of view is suggested in the article. There are also several personal value statements that doesn't concludes into a neutral tone, or they are examples of non-cited material. Sourcing Quotes/facts aren't quoted all the time. I believe that the 4th source isn't cited properly as the linked page doesn't contain any related information to the article. The editor mentions that the information is retrieved on Sept. 15 2014, but the information on the page is up to date, so this source is probably outdated. The section of Performance and publication is extremely well cited except for the last performance, which is very recent. In general, the list of references to the article appears to be good sourcing materials. Content Everything mentioned in the article is relevant to the subject, though some information are misplaced or should be arranged into new sections in order to avoid confusions and distractions. Except for one of the source that I noticed is out of date maybe because of some removal of content, the article's information seems to be very up to date especially in the Performance and publication section where the newest production of the year of 2018 is also included, yet not cited. Missing sources are indeed required, though the development of new sub-contents are necessary to enrich this article, too. Talk page No discussion related to the main topic is generated in the past but one technical advisement on fixing external URL links is mentioned. The article is rated start class in all of the related WikiProjects including: WikiProject Ireland, WikiProject Theatre and WikiProject Linguistics/ Applied Linguistics. It is also rated low-importance in the former two WikiProjects, but it is an important subject in the class of Irish Theatre.
