Constitution of Canada

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
While I was born and raised in Canada, I am embarrassingly unfamiliar with its constitution. As the Wikipedia page for the constitution has many edits as well as an active Talk page I chose to evaluate this article, in the hopes of learning more about my own country.

Evaluate the article
The article, while foundationally sound thanks to a number of reliable citations, does still have a few questionable components including subjective language, metaphor, and hyperbole, and incomplete subsections. The talk page does address each of these issues, and the current and past editors are conversing to find solutions for each of the weak points.

The citations used within the article come equally from legal codes from Canada itself and from scholarly works and articles about Canadian history and law. They reflect the most current available information on Canada's Constitution, and reflect the research of a wide variety of sources and authors.

The article itself is easy to read and devoid of any egregious spelling or grammatical errors, and it gives ample verbiage to the majority of its sections.

The Lead section is strong, though could do with less superfluous language in describing the significance of the Constitution.

The "Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms" portion desperately needs revision and citations. The Constitution Acts sections also require additional citations.

An image of the constitution itself may be a good addition to the article, especially as it is mentioned that the edition currently on display is a recreation. There is only one image embedded in the article, but it is well captioned.

The links in the article are functional.

The article's tone is consistently neutral and unbiased, and clearly presents the available facts.

The Talk page is quite lively, with expanded discourse about the verbiage used in describing Canada's constitution as one of the oldest working constitutions in the world. Dontmindthegap (talk) 09:32, 20 March 2021 (UTC)
