Evaluate the drafted changes
Lead

Intro is well-written, with just enough detail to make the reader interested in continuing the article. It also contains information that is present in the article and is concise. However, the lead has not been updated by this user as of yet.

Content

The content is good right now, but I would love to see more about Besser's background and why he became interested in digital preservation. More detail about some of his projects relating to digital preservation other than the t-shirts and the Occupy Movement could be helpful as well, to give the reader a broader spectrum of what Besser has done.

Tone and Balance

The tone is neutral, not trying to persuade the reader to like or dislike Besser or his projects. There is no bias or viewpoints that over or underrepresent a position.

Sources

All of the new content is backed up by reliable secondary sources and reflects what the sources say. The sources currently are likely some of the best sources on Besser, but if this user could possibly find some articles or papers written by Besser to incorporate into the article, that might help improve it a bit. All of the links work other than #1, the Tisch Faculty Profile, which does not work.

Organization

The article is currently well-organized and well-written. Having the intro, the biography, his awards, and his works in that order works well in terms of telling the story about Besser. There are no spelling or grammatical errors as of now.

Images/Media

The article includes one video relating to Besser talking about "orphan films." This is very helpful to give the reader a better idea of Besser's knowledge in his field and what exactly he has done. However, I believe that possibly adding a picture of Besser near the top of the article would be helpful, as well, just to give the reader an idea of who the person is that they are reading about.

Overall ImpressionsThis article is short but well done. I think that adding more detail about Besser's background and the projects that he has worked on would be a huge help in adding more detail to the article and making it even better. However, as of now, the article is very good.
