Which article are you evaluating?
Himalia (moon)

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose to evaluate the Himalia (moon) article because the distance of the moon from earth leads to its class being C as there is not much certainly known about it. Also, I love astronomy and was interested in evaluating astronomical aspects.

Evaluate the article
The lead sentence is very informative, but may not need to include the diameter of the satellite moon. The introduction does a very good job in highlighting the main sections of the article including size, discovery, name, and other features. It does not include any information that is not further talked about in the article. It is concise, although the final detail about Neptune is not a major detail of the article, and is not necessarily pertinent to include.

The content is relevant to the subject and is chronological in its description, even including new size information obtained in 2018. There is no information that is wanted that is specifically not included, although there is no information that concerns equity or underepresented populations.

Concerning tone, the article in majorly informative and does not include any obvious bias. Although estimates are included, they are labeled as such and do not seem overly represented.

The links seem to work and are majorly scientific and peer reviews, proving general credibility. There are a total of 25 sources, all unique and important as they are cited in each important piece of new information in the article.

The writing quality is concise and clear, as well as well-organized into informative sections. There are images that explain the orbit of himalia well, although general pictures of himalia are extremely hard to see. Better quality images should be sought out.

The image quality is also specifically discussed in the Talk section. Pronunciation is also discussed, in terms of mythological and relative accuracy in relation to the names of other similar satellites. It is a c-class article and a part of the WikiProject Astronomy. It has also been given mid-importance. The way wikipedia discusses the article is different than how we talked about in class, due to the casual nature in which things are discussed in the Talk section. There is also a lot of lenience given to those who do not understand how to edit a wiki page, with users providing directions and links to be able to better communicate in the Talk section.
