Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose to evaluate this article because I am interested in the concept of WikiProjects. As well, I would like to learn more about different museums worldwide!

Evaluate the article
Lead Section

The WikiProject does not contain a lead section. The page begins with a welcome sentence followed by no other information.There is no introductory section to the content of the article or a brief summary of the content.

Content

The content is not particularly relevant to the topic of the page. The WikiProject features a lengthy list of the project's members, languages spoken and 'clean up' tasks, all of which should be within the Talk Page and not the main page. The main page lacks any content rather than a brief list of museums worldwide.

Tone and Balance

The article is neutral. As previously stated, much of the content is lacking any specific details/facts and is focused on delegating tasks for completing the page.

Sources and References

There is an issue with the second resource link (Visitor statistics for UK attractions), the third (Monthly museum & gallery visits figures from the UK's Department for Culture, Media and Sport), the fifth (Museums: Virtual Library museums pages (VLmp)) and the sixth (MuseumRegister | an international directory of museums in all categories). The page lacks updated sources.

Organization and Writing Quality

The article is not well-written, but I believe it is because the authors have not completed enough of the written content yet. The organization of the article is also a little out of order as it begins with "goals" and enters straight into listing off names of members of the site.

Images and Media

The article features no images and one chart as the only 'media' element. The article would benefit by featuring photos of each museum it discusses.

Talk Page Discussion

No conversations are present on the talk page.

Overall Impressions Overall, it appears the majority of the articles content is either archived or has yet to be created. The WikiProject has taken on a very interesting subject and I would love to see them bring a museum page to life!
