Which article are you evaluating?
The Hate U Give

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I choose this article because I found it really interesting that a book that is as notorious as this one, with the amount of awards it won as this one, and a with a major movie created about it, is still heavily challenged. My first impressions is that it is an easily digestible article with the information provided being displayed very clearly.

Evaluate the article
Lead Section

The first sentence introduces the topic of the book that the rest of the article talks about. The first paragraph then gives an overview of the most important topics regarding the book: the most prevalent conflicts and brief summary. The rest of the lead section expanded even more and gave a brief overview of the topic at hand.

Content

The content is organized in a balanced way separated into different main aspects surrounding the controversy of this book. The most recent sources were retrieved in 2021, so it is certainly up-to-date.

Tone and Balance

The article is addressing a very heavy topic that could introduce substantial bias and/or political agenda, but it does a good job of remaining neutral and describing the events that occurred around the book as an objective bystander.

Sources and References

A lot of the sources are from 2017-2019 because that is simply when the book was published and when controversy arose. They are still current and sufficiently thorough. Sources within the text are very frequent and there are no places where information is not sourced properly. I clicked on several of the links and found no issues with any of them.

Organization and writing quality

The organization of this article is one of its best features. It is divided into several clear and easy to digest sections. I particularly like the "Awards" section because it clearly lists all of the awards in chronological order. The rest of the article is concise and easy to read with very little grammatical errors.

Images and Media

The only photo on the page is that of the book's cover. It is well captioned and definitely enhances the understanding of the topic in a visually appealing way.

Talk Page Discussion

On the talk page discussion they are mostly talking about upcoming awards the book/movie might win and how/when to update the article based on changes that are occurring surrounding the book.

Overall Impressions

The overall status of the article is really strong. It is short and concise displaying only the most necessary and relevant information. There is little negative feedback I can give on how it should be improved. Perhaps it's biggest shortcoming is not talking more about the movie since that played a very large role in spreading the message of the movie and making it even more widespread.
