Baltimore Ravens

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose to evaluate the Wikipedia Article about the NFL team the Baltimore Ravens. I chose this article because of my love for the team since I've been able to remember watching sports, so I thought it would be interesting to see if there is anything else I would like to see or think they should add in this article. My honest first impression of the article is that it is an impressive amount of info! Before I evaluate this article I think I'll be given lots of information that I've never known even when I call myself a true fan.

Evaluate the article
After reading the article on the Baltimore Ravens, (A NFL Team based in Baltimore, Maryland) I was impressed with the quality and quantity of information that is used in the article to display various stories, records, and just cool facts about the ravens. The article's lead section is great as it clearly and simply puts a basis of what this article is about, who the ravens are and where they play, while still displaying some cool facts. The Baltimore Ravens are a decently new team with an old history before they became the Ravens so I found it interesting how instead of having a little side area of the history of the Ravens, Wikipedia has an entire other article for the history of the Baltimore Ravens linked. While still incorporating the history into the Article but it's nice to give the option for more if it's wanted. In an article referencing lots of different sports teams while only focusing on one I assumed they must be some bias in these statements given by the Raven Wikipedians but to my surprise the tone of the Article is very neutral and gives very straightforward facts or undisputed descriptions on what went down on some of the events that are mentioned in the article. One of the main strengths of the article has to be its detail in story telling whether it's events, rivalries, how coaches did with the Ravens it is all very well put together. Lastly my favorite strength from the article has to be the immense amount of imagery and photos used for the article. Loved seeing the photos of older uniforms and old Ravens players or old games being played that ended up being classics, just adds another layer of personality to the article. Also I want to add there are multiple reliable sources for the article all given at the bottom of the page.
