Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I have chosen this wikipedia article on Philosophy to evaluate because it is the topic of my major. Philosophy as a whole matters primarily for the wide extent of topics covered within it and the relevance they can have to multiple different people since its scope is so broad. Prior to reading this wikipedia article I imagined it was going to be full of information and that there would be the potential for some mistakes since it was such a large wikipedia article.

Evaluate the article
The Philosophy article i covered was very well put together the lead included a well constructed introductory statement which briefly but effectively stated the topic of the article. The lead also does a very good job at describing the major topics to be covered within the article while also not containing any information that is not in the article. All in all the lead of this article is a good lead which fits well within the parameters. The content within the article is all modern information from what i can tell and there is also not any major topics within philosophy that i could say the makers of the article missed when creating it. The article definitely is written from a neutral perspective while also covering a good balance of different perspectives within the field. All the information stated within the article is backed up properly with reliable sources of information while also holding multiple articles with diverse spectrums of authors contributing in many of the works. many of the links within the bibliography work and there is a decent amount of peer reviewed articles as-well within the bibliography. The organization of the article is very good with it being especially easy to read and comprehend while also being easily navigable.
