Evaluate an article
This is where you will complete your article evaluation. Please use the template below to evaluate your selected article.


 * Name of article: Sweetener (album)
 * Briefly describe why you have chosen this article to evaluate: I chose to evaluate this article because I am familiar with who Ariana Grande is and I have listened to the Sweetener album multiple times before.

Lead

 * The Lead of this article is well written in that it does not give away too much detail of the topic but provides brief descriptions of the subsections. The introductory sentence is short and concise. It provides the general idea of what the article is about.


 * Does the Lead include an introductory sentence that concisely and clearly describes the article's topic?
 * Does the Lead include a brief description of the article's major sections?
 * Does the Lead include information that is not present in the article?
 * Is the Lead concise or is it overly detailed?

Content

 * I have not found any information to be missing. The article seem to be as updated as it can get and does not stray from the topic. The article does not specifically address unrepresented populations but does highlight the featuring artists of the album that are from underrepresented populations.


 * Is the article's content relevant to the topic?
 * Is the content up-to-date?
 * Is there content that is missing or content that does not belong?
 * Does the article deal with one of Wikipedia's equity gaps? Does it address topics related to historically underrepresented populations or topics?

Tone and Balance

 * This article does not seem to be biased. The Sweetener tour could be more represented because there is not a lot of information provided on it. However, I did notice that it had a link to a page of its own.


 * Is the article neutral?
 * Are there any claims that appear heavily biased toward a particular position?
 * Are there viewpoints that are overrepresented, or underrepresented?
 * Does the article attempt to persuade the reader in favor of one position or away from another?

Sources and References

 * The few links that I clicked on worked perfectly fine. Many of the facts are backed up by a reliable secondary source and are written by a diverse group of authors. The sources include well known news publication companies and magazines. Therefore, they do reflect the topic of the article and historically marginalized individuals are included.


 * Are all facts in the article backed up by a reliable secondary source of information?
 * Are the sources thorough - i.e. Do they reflect the available literature on the topic?
 * Are the sources current?
 * Are the sources written by a diverse spectrum of authors? Do they include historically marginalized individuals where possible?
 * Check a few links. Do they work?

Organization

 * The article is well-written in that there are no grammatical or spelling errors and the organization of the sections make it easy to follow along.


 * Is the article well-written - i.e. Is it concise, clear, and easy to read?
 * Does the article have any grammatical or spelling errors?
 * Is the article well-organized - i.e. broken down into sections that reflect the major points of the topic?

Images and Media

 * The images that are included in this article are well placed and follow Wikipedia's guidelines. The captions describe the picture very concisely. I think it is nice the article highlights the artists that are featured on the album.


 * Does the article include images that enhance understanding of the topic?
 * Are images well-captioned?
 * Do all images adhere to Wikipedia's copyright regulations?
 * Are the images laid out in a visually appealing way?

Checking the talk page

 * One conversation that is happening behind the scenes is talk about where or not this album can be considered trap music. Some argue that it is and others argue that it is not. This article is mostly rated on the lower range of C-class and is part of four different WikiProjects. There is not much that differs between the conversations we have in class about this and the way that Wikipedia discusses it.


 * What kinds of conversations, if any, are going on behind the scenes about how to represent this topic?
 * How is the article rated? Is it a part of any WikiProjects?
 * How does the way Wikipedia discusses this topic differ from the way we've talked about it in class?

Overall impressions

 * The overall status of this article is rated pretty low but I believe it is well-develop. Everything that needed to be said is included in the article. The article provides a lot of information about the album's chart placement and award nominations. I think the article can improve by including more information of the album cover, if possible, because that was not really talked about. However, I am also not sure if there are credible sources that can support that information.


 * What is the article's overall status?
 * What are the article's strengths?
 * How can the article be improved?
 * How would you assess the article's completeness - i.e. Is the article well-developed? Is it underdeveloped or poorly developed?
