Talk:SpongeBob SquarePants (character)

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose to do this article because Sponge bob is one of my favorite cartoon characters. I wanted to evaluate it because it will be easier to evaluate an article in something I like rather than something boring.

Evaluate the article
The lead section has a clear and descriptive introductory about who Sponge Bob is, when was Sponge bob first introduced, and who created Sponge bob along with some helpful information about the character himself. It touches base on some of the things you might be able to learn more if you continue down the page. The lead is not overly detailed but is concise.

The content in the article is very relevant to the topic of Sponge bob. Things seem to be up to date. The dates that the show were being created and dates were the first episode was released are not going to change. Nothing has changed dramatically with the show that would need the article to be edited with new dates. The article about Sponge bob does bring up the topic about how the question whether Sponge bob is a homosexual character came up. There is a lot of information on it in the article that also touches base on some other cartoon characters with the same question of homosexual. The article then talks about the cultural impact and legacy of the character.

The whole article is very neutral. It is not trying to persuaded anyone who might read it. It just is supplying information based on the character. Even though the debate of homosexuality came up it is still not leading towards one side of anything. Again it is just stating facts and giving information regarding to Sponge bob.

The article is full of trustful up to date sources that are cited. There are over 80 reference that are all properly cited. In the article there are links to the sources if they are being used. The most current time cited was from 2019.

This article is very clear, concise, and well organized. I found no spelling or grammatical errors when I read over it. The information was broken up into different section about different information that was being giving. It was clear to see what was going to be talked about or where to look to find certain facts.

There are a total of 7 images each with a small description of what the image is of. They are helpful. The images help give a better understanding of different things and puts a face to a name. The citations for the pictures are very difficult to find and I am not sure if they are cited or from the correct sources.

As far as the "talk" page goes I do not see that anyone has added in any other information. One thing I do see is something about a citation not being done, but it looks like the problem was fixed as of February 1st 2022. The article has a green plus and is rated as a good article. This Sponge bob article is apart of 5 Wiki-projects.

Overall I think this article is very organized and useful. Everything is well thought out and all the information is well stated. Things are very easy too find if you are looking for certain information. It touches base on just about everything you need to know about Sponge bob himself and the show along with how and who created the show. Everything is cited and it seems to be a very trusting article. It is not base and has no rants. One thing I think that could change is there is a lot of information about how Sponge bob is homo sexually and I think all that information is not needed. It could have been just brought up briefly and lightly talked about instead of going into full details. It is useful information but not needed in great detail. Over all I think this a very well developed article and I enjoyed learning more about Sponge Bob Square Pants.
