Which article are you evaluating?
1 of 1 (Shinee album)

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article because I like this album. It's important for articles about music to be accurate because information on Wikipedia is often used as a reference and then spread through social media, so an inaccurate article would contribute to the spread of misinformation.

The lead section is thorough but concise and doesn't include any information that isn't present in the rest of the article. The placement of the information in the lead section matches with the sequence of the sections of the article. The content is all relevant and there are no gaps. The article is detailed but does not spend too much time on any one aspect of the topic. The tone of the article is neutral and does not read as a promotion or advertisement for the album. It doesn't seem like the author is trying to persuade the reader to listen to or buy the album. There is a wide variety of sources, and none of them are from the artist or record label, so it seems that they are unbiased about the album. Some of the links have been archived to make sure they are still accessible. The article is well-written and the order that the information is presented in makes sense. I didn't notice any grammatical errors, and the article was broken down into different sections. The images used in the article are relevant to the topic and aid the reader in understanding the article. The copyright on the images marks them as valid for use on Wikipedia.

Overall, this article seems exceedingly thorough and more than adequate for the topic. Some of the writing is awkward, and some facts are repeated in more places than seems necessary (for example, a detail about one member suffering an injury during production). Including more information under the critical reception section, like ratings or negative reception, would make the article more complete. I think the article is well-developed as it is.
