Despicable Me

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I have chosen to evaluate this article because I am interested in the Despicable Me franchise and feel like I have some knowledge about it. This article is important because it introduces readers who are unfamiliar to the franchise to its main synopsis and characters. It is a page that interested readers can go to to find out more information about what films and other spin offs the franchise is involved in. My preliminary impression of this article is that it has some improving to be done; I think that there are a few details that are missing on the page that could be added and it appears as if other users agree and have expressed their concerns and questions under the article's "Talk" page.

Evaluate the article
Content


 * The content of the article appears to be relevant to the topic for the most part. After the initial lead section, the author begins the article by including an extensive list of all of the feature films from the franchise; they provide a brief description of the plot of each film which I found could be very helpful to readers. Later in the article, they provide lists of both the "prequels" (which some Wikipedia editors and users have contested to be labeled "spin offs" instead) including the Minions films as well as the "short films" that were released in response to the popularity of the franchise.
 * Visually, the tables that the author include in the article are a little distracting, despite the contents of the tables being easy to understand and relevant to the topic at hand. There is also a very noticeable gap in between the lead section and the first table under "Feature Films." If there is any way that this can be rearranged to look more visually pleasing, I think it should be done.

Tone


 * The tone of the article appears to be neutral and the author does not seem to showcase a bias. All plot explanations are very concise and clear; they are all cited and come from reliable film critics and viewers who have objectively described the synopsis of the movie without including spoilers of any kind.

Sources


 * All of the links to the sources I have reviewed work well and the sources seem to support the claims of the article.
 * Additionally, all of the author's sources appear to be unbiased. They use a variety of sources that contributes to the validity of the article.
