Evaluate an article - History of the Internet
This is where you will complete your article evaluation. Please use the template below to evaluate your selected article.


 * History of the Internet: (History of the Internet)
 * I have chosen this article to evaluate because of my interest in the topic, as well as its lack of recent historical moments for the internet.

Lead

 * Guiding questions
 * -The Lead only goes up to 2007. That was thirteen years ago, surely there can be some events added?
 * - Besides the lack of recent information, the lead does it's job. However, it does need to be updated to reflect on more recent events, as well as possibly summarizing a bit more of the article's content.

Content

 * - The culture section is lacking in terms of recent changes in global and American culture stemming from the internet
 * - Existing information could be further explained, some historical events seems to lack information after the first read through
 * - Seems like there is not much content considering how big of a phenomenon the internet is, and how much history there already is in it's relatively short life.

Images and Media
- Very little amount of images, could use images to help portray some of the topics, especially in the culture section.

- Images are always a good way for readers to visualize some ideas, and even retaining information comes easier with images.

Checking the talk page

 * Guiding questions
 * - Not a lot of activity on the talk page, the few posts that are there are constructive edits being mentioned and made.

Overall impressions


Overall the article is well put together, cited well and provides plenty of information clearly. However, besides some mention of more recent events, the article could use a decent update. The culture section is something I would like to focus on, as within the last 3 years or so there has been a huge change in internet culture around the world.
