Digital rhetoric

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
This article was chosen as it pertains to a topic of interest that I am currently studying. The page opens with a strong, detailed lead section and is well-organized in its sections, but there is disproportionate development of sections.

Evaluate the article
The lead section is detailed and provides a good overview of what digital rhetoric is and its significance; however, it could be improved to also include previews of the major sections of the page. The explanation on the different lenses that can be applied to digital rhetoric was well written, but the tonality of the last few line may need to be adapted to be less persuasive and more explanatory. The article's content delved into more relevant and up-to-date topics and concepts within digital rhetoric, but some sections were definitely more underdeveloped than others, for instance under Scope of Influence, the Social Media subsection was lacking compared to that of Politics. Overall, the Digital rhetoric page provides a clear and impartial description of major ideas and information in the field that is effectively sourced. Areas of improvement would be in research and development of smaller subsections so as not to give a biased perception of greater importance in certain fields, as well as the use of professional language in certain areas of the page. Based on the Talk page, it is clear that section development is an active area that is being addressed as new sections and topics within them are being suggested and implemented. Nonetheless, it is classified as a start-class article in the following WikiProjects: Media, Philosophy, Linguistics/Applied Linguistics, Computing, and Writing.
