Which article are you evaluating?
Clothing swap

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose to do this article out of the three I listed on my page because I feel there is quite a bit of information out there about clothing swaps. I think by adding information to this stub I can help educate others on this fun and evironmentally friendly activity. Initially I noticed this stub was slightly more developed then others I had looked at but I believe I still have plenty of room to make improvements and add new information.

Evaluate the article
I will start by evaluating the lead section of this article. The lead lacks an over view for the small parts included. That is something that should be altered as information is added to the article. The idea of keeping the lead concise is there but I feel it is not concise in the correct way and that is something that can be edited. Continuing on into the content I would say it all is relevant and up to date but it is way to concise. So many people participate these and there are many aspects and much more information that could be added to this article when analyzing the current content. The tone in this article is very heavily in support of some one conducting/participating in a clothing swap. Although this is inherently a good activity the language used in the article can be slightly more neutral in just describing an activity. The sources and citing them is present in the article. I would say the biggest issue with the sources is the lack of currency. This was last edited in 2008 and 14 years later I am sure there is information and facts to add from other outside reliable sources. The grammar is also an issue in this article. It sounds rather elementary and is not correct in different areas of the article which is a rather quick thing to edit. The article starts to have an organizational structure but then just drops off and is lacking. The basic structure there will provide a road map for improving the article. There is one image of a clothing swap. I think it does represent the topic rather well but more recent images could be included.There is not much content on the talk page rather than two edits from 2008 so clearly this article has not be touched or discussed about in quite some time. Overall this article is very much a stub that has potential to become a more well established page. I think the most basic improvement will be including more content, fixing the grammar, and adding more of a structure to the article. This article is largely under developed.
