The article Zuko contains lead sections which introduce and provide a clear overview of what the topic will be about. The first sentence describes and introduces the character. And though the paragraph contains very long sentences, it does provide an overview of the whole lead section. The long sentences provide a lot of information about the character at once. Such sentences can be split into two. The article’s content, for the most part, is relevant to the topic and is up-to-date. For example, in the Appearances section, the article provides information from the Book One of the television series to the Book Four in The Legend of Korra. It even includes his final non-speaking appearance. The article also covers all the important aspects. There are sections, however, that are in need of expansion. For example, there is a message within the Critical Reception section that states a need for expansion. Though the article itself is written for the most part from a neutral point of view and contains facts, there are some parts, however, that seem to persuade the reader. The second sentence of the Critical Reception section, for example, describes Zuko's struggles as "'painful' to watch." The wording of this sentence appears to be persuading the reader to sympathize with the character. Some of the sources and references of the article also do not appear to be academic nor scholarly. Reference 23, "," for example, provides a link to an article that shows bias towards the character. The title of the article states Zuko has “The Best Redemption Arc in Television History.” Nevertheless, the Wikipedia article is organized well and divided down into sections that reflect the major points of the topic. The writing, however, is not concise and easy to read. There are multiple long sentences that give a lot of information at once. There is very little discussion in the Talk page. There is a comment, however, stating that the Family Tree section needs to be updated and how the comic is depicted differently from the television series. Overall, I agree that the article is a C-Class article and is in need of revision. The use of certain words, for example, are biased. The article does provide a lot of detailed information, however, it could be replaced with concise and clear sentences. More reliable and academic sources should be included and some sections and information should be expanded. Though it is in need of an update, the image within the Family Tree section helps readers better visualize the relationships between family members. Https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Zuko
