Computer science

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article because this assignment if for my computer science principles class so it seemed appropriate to choose a computer science article. My initial impression is that the article seems very lengthy and detailed which could indicate that it is well researched.

Evaluate the article
The lead section's introductory sentence simply described computer science for those looking for a quick definition, and the remainder of the first paragraph described the range of topics that is covered under Computer Science. The rest of the lead contains brief descriptions of all the major sections of the article. The only thing that seems out of place was "Computer scientists usually focus on academic research. The Turing Award is generally recognized as the highest distinction in computer sciences." It seemed unrelated not really like introductory paragraph information. That first sentence is really vague, and the second one was just a random fact. All the content seems relevant and up-to-date. There did not seem to be mention of inequity's or underrepresentation. There is no obvious bias or attempt as persuasion in this article, but there seems to be a lot of uncertainty. This could be due to lack of information on the subject, or lack of research. It's often stated that "some" think or it "seems" a certain way. There is a long lost of references and citations for this information I the article, and the links I tested were functioning properly. There also seems to be a variety of sourcing like academic sources from universities, sources from newspapers, or just history articles. I did notice any grammar or mechanic errors in the article. There were many subdivision for the article especially when defining all of the different field of computer science which all also included links to their own respective pages. Other than the pictures included as little add-ons to the descriptions of the different fields, there wasn't any more media included. The images didn't have descriptions, but did have links attached to them. In the talk page, they are discussing contradictions about the first computer science degree, the translation issues in the article due to the English differences in Computer Science/Computing/Informatics, and dispute about whether to include information about Women in Computer Science. The wiki-projects is a part of are Computer Science and Human-Computer interaction. Its rated a C-Class article of top importance. The talk page seems very informal and the contributor seems a bit aggressive. Overall, the article would be helpful on a non-detailed level. It provides accurate information, but nothing extraordinary. I think it is developed well, but it just is not above and beyond detailed and complete.
