Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article since it is related to both the United States Navy and the library. There are a lot of relatives in my family tree that served either in the Navy specifically or in the military branches in general, thus I was always and continue to be interested in information areas and organizations, Now that I am studying library sciences, I saw the opportunity for it to collide.

Additionally, I saw this article had room for additional information to be provided and potentially increase its ranking in the Wiki assessment scale.

The original article has bits of good information throughout but no single section is completely filled out enough to satiate any potential (or basic) questions. This is reflected in the talk page which quotes "full of errors" in the information initially provided. That being said, there is a foundation to improve upon rather than no information at all.

The tone is neutral from a quick analysis and showcases facts and figures regarding the library's collection and state of being. There is only two sections to the page, which could be potentially an area to expand. The history section sounds like a quotation, will need to double check that information amongst the common references being used.
