French language - Wikipedia

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
(Briefly explain why you chose it, why it matters, and what your preliminary impression of it was.)

I chose this article because it is a language I am familiarized with and because I couldn't find an article for my language. It matters because it is one of the most 'you should know this language' after English and Spanish though. My impression wasn't much besides it being way more informative than I would have expected.

The lead section was long but also got all of the needed points out. It explained where the language descended from and where it is used now, but I do think it might be a little too overly detailed. As for content, I would like to say everything seems to be looking good. Every topic seen on there seems to be relevant to the article itself. The content is also still up to date as it is still being edited up until this year of 2022. Tone and balance can be seen to be doing okay. The article is about the French language so everything I can see is pretty relevant to that topic. There are some parts where the editors seem to have written more in that section but as the look of it, it seems reasonable because that in that part, the topic is more relevant to that part. What I mean is that in the article, it shows us where French can be seen in continents-wise, and obviously it will be talked more in Europe rather in North America. For sources and references, it seems like about of places the editors added onto are linked to other Wiki pages which are not creditable source but there is also other links that is direct to French government page or to a book directly. So far, the layout of this article seems pretty good. It shows us clearly where everything is. Images, there are lots of images on this article that we can clearly see. They all seem to be in the good looks of the regulation policies. There wasn't a lot of talk for his website, but it seems like they speak quite blunt as in a need for something to be change due to false information. Well, for the overall, we all know no article is perfect and every article on Wiki is a working piece so I would say it is not complete, but it definitely has lots of information on it at the moment. The article is quite long so I think improving on shortening it a bit and leaving out the unnecessary information would be. Personally, I would read the whole thing from top to bottom and click on those links they have added on to make sure they are reliable sources, if not, I would try to search for more reliable sources for that topic.
