Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
This is an article I am interested in editing for this assignment. It is also missing a lot of information about the designer.

Evaluate the article
Lead Section


 * 1) The article includes a decent introductory sentence but could be more specific.
 * 2) The lead does not include a brief description of the major sections- it is overall very brief.
 * 3) The lead mentions Vitra but does not include that elsewhere in the article.
 * 4) The lead is concise but overall too vague and brief to be successful.

Content


 * 1) Yes the included information is relevant
 * 2) The content is mostly up to date although it mentions that his furniture is still in production in the lead but does not say anything more.
 * 3) There is a lot of content missing about his work and projects. Also a lot of pictures could be added that are crucial in describing his work
 * 4) 4. The bibliography section far outweighs the length and detail of other sections. All there is no content that addresses the equity gap.

Tone and Balance


 * 1) The article is neutral
 * 2) There appear to be no biased claims
 * 3) There doesn't seem to be multiple viewpoints
 * 4) There are no minority or fringe viewpoints presented
 * 5) No persuasion.

Sources and References


 * 1) There seem to be some gaps between the information presented and sources.
 * 2) There are only 2 sources and they do not seem thorough.
 * 3) The sources are current.
 * 4) The sources are not very diverse.
 * 5) Yes there are better sources than the ones used here.
 * 6) Only some links work.

Organization and Writing Quality


 * 1) The article is easy to read but could be written better/more professionally.
 * 2) No grammatical or spelling errors found.
 * 3) The article could be better organized. There is a long bibliography with few other sections despite there being more information available.

Images and Media

Overall Impressions

Overall, the article is very brief and leaves out significant aspects of the designer's life and work. Beyond content, the organization could be significantly improves and many more images should be added.
