Which article are you evaluating?
Talk:Bible translations into English - Wikipedia

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
(Briefly explain why you chose it, why it matters, and what your preliminary impression of it was.)

I chose this article because it interests me, and it is important in the fact that there are countless English-speaking Christians and many different translations to their holy book. My first impression of the article was that the use of chronological sectioning is a useful way of structuring this specific article.

The lead section explains that there are many translations of the Bible into English and traces them back to the 7th century but fails to provide any sort of summary of the article's major sections. The article does a great job of staying on topic, and the content appears to be up to date. The article does a good job of staying neutral and does not advertise any one translation of the Bible, instead offering only the time period that a given translation was composed and the current popularity of each translation in America. However, other English-speaking countries are underrepresented as that data is not provided for them. While most of the links work, there is one source that has been archived and has not been updated. The article is organized well, and there is no issues with readability.

The talk page discussions are clearly all aimed at providing new or improved information about the article and its sources. The editors are for the most part having a civilized discussion, but there are some feelings of light hostility.

The article is strong overall, with its main strengths being the way it's sectioned and the clear effort by editors to keep updating and improving it. The article could improve by offering examples of how two translations may send a different message, and by providing statistics for other English-speaking countries.
