Which article are you evaluating?
(Provide a link to the article here.)Mental health

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
(Briefly explain why you chose it, why it matters, and what your preliminary impression of it was.) I chose to evaluate Mental Health because I wanted to know what the definition was since I know there is some controversy around what mental health is on different levels. I was interested on what Wikipedia definition would be and what other information I could learn on mental health. My preliminary impression of mental health Wikipedia page is that there was a flag on it stating "This article has multiple issues. Please help improve it or discuss these issues on the talk page.

This article's lead section may be too short to adequately summarize the key points. (July 2010)

This article is written like a personal reflection, personal essay, or argumentative essay that states a Wikipedia editor's personal feelings or presents an original argument about a topic. (April 2021)

The examples and perspective in this article deal primarily with the United States and do not represent a worldwide view of the subject. (July 2021)"

Evaluate the article
(Compose a detailed evaluation of the article here, considering each of the key aspects listed above. Consider the guiding questions, and check out the examples of what a useful Wikipedia article evaluation looks like.)

Lead Section

-The lead section effectively describes the topic brings up good point on how mental health could look different due to cultural differences. As a reader I was able to identify the topic and definition.

Content

- The content could be better since I think it is not up to date. I believe new points can be brought up of the social aspects of mental health today.

Tone and Balance

The tone seems to be informative but does seem like a personal summary. The tone and balance could be changed for better but overall neutral.

Sources

The sources are good but I think more sources could be added such as mental health.org

Organizations and Writing Quality

Images and Media

-No images

Talk Page

-the talk page argues that this Wikipedia page seems like a argumentative essay that could be improved to educate people on mental health and factors behind it.

Overall Impression-Overall I believe that this page on Wikipedia could be improved with more elaborate definitions and up to date information
