Which article are you evaluating?
Feminist theatre

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I have chosen this article because it is not something I know a lot about and thought that the article would be interesting. I also think that it is not a very researched and common topic so it would not be one of the most popular page.

Evaluate the article
Lead section:

The lead section could use some more information while it does give a brief description of what feminist theatre is. However, it only has one sentence for the lead which does not give very much information on the topic. The lead needs to have more information in it and it would be beneficial for it to have a thesis statement. It should also explain where the article is going.

Content:

The information is relevant to the topic and goes into depth on what the information means sometimes; however, it seems like they did not do enough research on the topic. The Variability section is 2 sentences and it really does not make sense. It is a quote with no explanation on why they used it or thought it was important. Other sections also need more information added to them so that people can get a better understanding of the topic. It addresses topics related to underrepresented groups, during this time it was not very popular for women to be involved in theatre.

Tone and balance:

The article uses neutral language; however, I believe that more information could be added to the article to help people understand the topic more. I think the sections were balanced but could use more information.

Sources:

Most facts are backed up with sources; however, there is one section that does not have a citation where it is needed. The sources also relate to the topic and back up the source and are reliable. Majority of the sources are new from around 2019 while there are a few that are older; however, they suit the article. The links work and you are taken to the website where the author got their information from. I think that they could have used a few more academic sources to really make sure people understand the topic, it would also be good if they could have found something from one of the women in one of the theatre groups.

Organization and writing:

The organization for this page is good, there are headers for each section so that people know what they are reading about. The author could have been more clear with their writing and cleaned it up a bit. It seems like some sections have repetitive information in it that could be taken out.

Images and media:

There are no images or media, it would be beneficial to find some.

Talk page:

There is no discussions on the talk page. It is a part of WikiProject feminism and theatre.

Overall impressions:

The entire article could have used more information, the page does not give you much; however, it is a good starting point.
