Perfectionism is an interesting topic and can be seen in numerous fields such as academics or sports. I think it is a topic that I have heard about but I do not have a strong viewpoint of my own on and I was interested to learn more.

Evaluate the article
The lead section of this article is detailed and easy to follow. The first sentence clearly states what perfectionism is in the psychology domain. However, when it discusses the positive and negative aspects of perfectionism the psychologists who are responsible for these ideals need to be recognized. Overall, the lead section addresses the topics that are covered throughout the article. This article content is relevant to the topic of perfectionism and covers matters such as the measurements, consequences, treatments, etc. The article is written from a neutral point of view but it could expand more on the positive effects of perfectionism. Consequences of this topic are discussed but there are no positive attributes communicated, if there are any. The lead section mentions how perfectionism can decrease stress, anxiety or even panic but it is not discussed further. This article has 89 sources and I did not check all of them but the ones I opened all worked and were from various places. The article was well organized and easy to follow because it had headings and subheadings. There was one image that pertained to the topic because it was a photograph of Stanley Kubrick who dealt with perfectionism. It may be beneficial to include more images that pertain to the topic for a better understanding of the material. There are conversations about this topic that pertain to being against certain standpoints within the article. This article was rated as a C- Class and is apart of a Wikiproject. The article seems to be strong but as I mentioned above the article could focus on some of the positive attributes that are associated with perfectionism.
