User:If you ain't runnin' game, Say my name/Evaluate an Article

Which article are you evaluating?
Canon 1398

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I was a religious studies minor in college and with the current climate in Texas and its new abortion law the topic has been on my mind lately.

Evaluate the article
Lead Section

The lead section is very short and while that itself is not the problem, it offers very little explanation as to what Canon 1398 actually is and its importance to the Catholic Church. Also make no mention of how the view from Canon 1398 has changed overtime or even if the church's official stance on abortion has not changed how the church has changed in dealing with abortion in the media.

Content

All martial within the article contains context related to the purpose of the article. All content in the article to there to explain the church's position on abortion and even includes a real life example of how the church deals with abortion.

Personally I would have liked for the article to give more of historical view of how the church has dealt with abortion.

Tone and Balance

On the subject of abortion is often a very emotional and people often take a strong positions on the topic. Yet, this article does a good job of not taking sides on the debate and keeping thing neutral.

Sources and References

Sources come form government sites and scholars within the field.

Organization and Writing Quality

It is well organized making the article easy to read and understand. The writing is also clear and to the point with no minor mistakes.

Images and Media

Little to none - which in this case makes sense since adding pictures on the topic of abortion often leads to more bias

Talking Page Discussion

Discussion centers on the text of Canon 1938. I would like to hope there would later be a more historical over the church's interpretation of Canon 1938. The article is included in three WikiProjects.

Overall Impressions

Is over a good article that could possibly use more historical context.
