Which article are you evaluating?
Cradle of Coaches.

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article because it seemed interesting to me. I have been a student at Miami University since 2020, but I didn't know Miami University had a nickname, Cradle of Coaches. This nickname was given to Miami University because of its history of launching successful sports coaches. It included the names of the football, basketball, and baseball coaches. It was exciting to know that Cradle of Coaches was also the subject of the sports documentary film, which aired on Time Warner Cable SportsChannel in 2015. This article made me feel proud of being a student at Miami University.

Evaluate the article
Lead section- The article includes a brief introduction of the article. After reading the introduction paragraph, I understood what the article was about. The introduction paragraph doesn't include a short description of the significant paragraphs. Overall, the introduction paragraph is well stated.

Content- The content of the article is relevant to the topic. The content includes a history of Miami University's coaches and why this name was given to Miami University. The content might need to be updated because the article doesn't include coaches' names from 2018-2024. All of the content contained in the article is relevant to the topic. Still,  it could consist of information about the subject, like a little bit of history of some of the coaches, such as why they chose Miami, or background information. Overall, the content wasn't too much or irrelevant to the topic but might be too short for an article.

Tone and Balance- It's important to note that the article appears heavily biased towards Miami University. It favors Miami over other universities, potentially influencing the reader's perception. The audience must be aware of this bias and approach the article with a critical Mindset.

Sources and Reference—Reliable secondary sources back up the facts in the article. The sources are from recent years. Yes, the links provided in the article do work. I found that other sources are better than this article through some digging. For instance, Miami University does have a page that includes history about how they got the name The Cradle of Coaches.

Organization and writing quality—The article is well-written, clear, and easy to read. I didn't find any grammatical or spelling errors. The content doesn't include much information, but whatever information is included in the article is well-organized and broken down into clear sections.

Images and Media- The article doesn't include photos that enhance understanding of the topic.

Talk page discussion- There is no discussion on the talk page.

Overall Impressions- I found the article concise, clear, and well-organized. Its strength lies in its readability, focused content, exciting insights, and solid structure. However, there is room for improvement. The article could benefit from the inclusion of images and more in-depth content. The article feels slightly underdeveloped due to the need for more comprehensive information.
