Evaluate the article
This article, which we talked about during class, could have been a lot more effective in terms of its overall structure. There were a few different points at which the information presented in one sentence, for example, was in direct contradiction of the previous sentence or even whole paragraph. In addition, the content section of the article included not one but two banners warning the reader that information in the section needed to be further verified for accuracy. On top of that, there are only six listed references, which doesn't seem like nearly enough for the amount of text that is present on the Wikipedia page. That being stated, I do believe that the article has a pretty solid lead section that is detailed enough without overwhelming the reader with information. There are no images or videos included in the article, which means the reader has a big block of text to look at without any visual appeal.
