Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article to evaluate because this book seems like a great representation of post apocalyptic science fiction in terms of plot details and underlying themes, but it is also a book that seems to be well reviewed by many different sources and well accredited in the literature community. The article seemed to have a good skeleton and outline of what it could expand on, so it did not seem difficult for me to be able to revise this article.

Evaluate the article
The lead contains a very clear and concise sentence that accurately describes the topic of the article. It contains a brief description of the article's main sections in a table of contents style format and does not include any sections that are not present in the article. The article's content seems fairly up to date as I do not think that this is a topic that would need much updating if any, and it seems to consistently stay relevant with the topic. There are a great number of content pages that are all relevant and I do not think that I would add any content pages, but I would most definitely add to every single content page and greatly revise the plot summary and character list pages. In terms of an equity gap, I would make it more of a point to respectfully discuss the possible further and deeper meaning behind Spaz's epilepsy, and the significance of it being genetically passed down to him. I do not necessarily believe that epileptic people are historically underrepresented, but I do think that it is a condition that can be easily misrepresented. From what I can understand the article is neutral and unbiased and does not appear to make any claims of any kind. There are not many viewpoints discussed, so no one viewpoint outweighs another, and none are overrepresented or underrepresented. There doesn't seem to be any type of attempts at persuasion either. There appears to be credible sources to back up any facts and statements made in the article and the links do work, but they seem to be very outdated, and most of the websites that are linked in the article have been updated since they were included in the article and need new links. The sources do not really seem to be written by a diverse selection of authors and I would love to hear from someone with epilepsy discuss this novel if I can manage to find something. From the amount of time so far that I have allotted towards looking for articles I strongly believe that I can find stronger sources than what has been provided already. The article is not well written in the sense that there is an incredibly long plot summary with barely any attention given to the other sections. The article does indeed have a few spelling and grammatical errors that I wish to fix. The article sections and table of contents is well organized and I would just need to revise and add to the contents already given. The article features no pictures other than the cover of the book and I would most definitely add more pictures to the article in order to make it more visually appealing. There are 4 conversations going on in this article's talk page; One of them mentions how the article is in "desperate need of a rewrite" and how they revised parts of the plot summary, another asks if an edit features a grammatical error of if the edit was made purposefully, one asks why the main character's age keeps getting misrepresented, and the last asks the page numbers of the book. The article is rated a class C article and of mid-importance. It was part of a WikiProject for Children's Literature that appears to have been part of an educational assignment that ended in 2013. Overall, the article appears to me as a "S" class article more than a "C" class article as it seems to have been started with good intentions, just never fully completed. I plan to improve the article by revising and narrowing down the plot summary page and adding on to all other content pages.
