Which article are you evaluating?
Yamuna

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 it because I am interested in the topic. Yamuna flows through my city, New Delhi, and it is very polluted. My preliminary impression of the article is good. It seems extensive and has a good lead section.

Lead

Yes the introductory sentence is concise and clearly describes and places in context the topic of the article.

Yes the lead section gives a short summary of all the relevant sections in the article.

No.

I think the lead is perfect.

Content

Yes.

Yes as of March 2021.

No, nothing is missing, and nothing is left out.

No, I do not think so. The article spends time discussing the cultural and historical significance, but not about underrespresentrated populations, though I am not sure it is needed in this topic.

Tone and Balance

Yes.

No.

No.

There are no minority viewpoints to mention.

No, there is no position.

Sources and References

Yes.

Yes, very.

They are mixed, some from the 2000s, 1990s, and some recent like 2019.

Yes, it includes ecofeminist writers, Indian as well as Western writers. There could be more sources from tribal communities and villagers who are dependent on the river as a livelihood.

No, I think the article does a good job of using references that are reliable like books, peer reviewed papers, etc. It uses websites and newspaper articles when necessary.

Yes all links work.

Organization and writing Quality

Yes, very.

No.

Yes.

Images and Media

Yes, though images of the polluted river could be included.

Yes.

Yes, either CC-BY or in Public Domain.

Yes, although all images are on the right except two, which looks a bit asymmetrical.

Talk Page Impression

There is not much talk. There are only two posts: one is about a correction someone made in a link, and the other is a grammar concern related to Indian English.

The article is rated C-Class. It is part of many Wikiprojects: Wikiproject India, Rivers, Religion, Hinduism, etc.

Overall Impressions

I think the article is pretty good right now.

The article's strength is the overall coverage and depth. It is well-written and concise.

Just the media aspect, of including the images of the polluted section and arranging them symmetrically.

I think the article is well-developed and complete.
