Valentine's Day

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
Valentines Day is around the corner and many people around me have been talking about the excitement the day brings so I wanted to do some research on the origin of Valentines Day. My initial impression of the article was disbelief, there were so many facts and legends about Valentine's Day that I was unaware of and this article shows the importance of research and information being passed down through multiple generations.

Evaluate the article
Lead: The article contains a clear, straight-to-the-point introductory sentence that gives the readers an understanding of what Valentine's Day is referred to as and when it is celebrated. The lead itself briefly summarizes all the points that are addressed throughout the article in a few well-constructed and concise sentences.

Tone and balance: There are multiple legends and stories that originate from the name Valentines and the article is neutral when presenting each belief of the possible origin of Valentine's Day as well as the differences in various countries.

Organization and Writing Quality: The format of the article is laid out in a practical and organized way and all the points in the lead are mentioned.

Images and Media: Most of the images used coincide with the words in the article but some images are not necessary. For instance, there is an image of red roses somewhere in the article that doesn't really add anything to the article. The images are well captioned and they all follow Wikipedia's copyright regulations (Most of the pictures used belong to the public domain and the images that don't are licensed correctly).
