Which article are you evaluating?
Earthquake Early Warning (Japan)

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article because it is related to the class I am currently in. I also picked it because we have learned about these early warning systems so it will be helpful to learn even more about it especially because is it based in Japan and we have only discussed the California one.

Evaluate the article
From reading this article, everything included on it is relevant and nothing is distracting because everything is related to the topic the article is about. There is a really good lead section for this article and it is straight and to the point about what the article is going to include and talk about. A lot of the information is pretty out of date and there needs to be more recent information about how well this early warning system is doing for Japan, but they do mention the update of the system to work on the newer devices. The article is not biased and all of the claims do not lean one way or the other it is just giving information about the system. All of the facts are cited and sourced throughout the article and there are many sources listed at the end of the article. Even with all the sources, many are pretty old and there needs to be an update on the article with newer, more recent sources. The article is written well and clearly states all the information in a concise matter allowing anyone who is reading to understand what the author, or authors, are trying to say. There are also many sections to the article, but the last section titled "other" could be organized better into specific sections in order for people to be able to find this information within the article better and not have to just look at "other". A lot of conversations in the talk page were to help clear up confusion on certain aspects in the article. One also talked about the issue of having so many articles in Japanese that many are not able to read. This article is rated a start in Wikiproject Japan and a C in Wikiproject Disaster Management. Overall this article does go over a lot of Japan's early warning system for earthquakes in good depth but does need some updates and updated sources.
