Which article are you evaluating?
Digital fashion

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 this is a topic I'm interested in and would like to know more about. This topic matters because it completely changes modeling and the fashion industry as we know it. This topic is also important for understanding the evolution of 3D software and other computer technologies.

Evaluate the article
(Compose a detailed evaluation of the article here, considering each of the key aspects listed above. Consider the guiding questions, and check out the examples of what a useful Wikipedia article evaluation looks like.)

Lead

The lead does a good job introducing the topic but I feel like the different sections could be explained better and what the article entails could be more concise. Throughout the lead in different section the world "also" is used multiple different times to continue to describe digital fashion and what's included in the article.

Content

I think the content is up to date especially because the lead discusses the pandemic and the new types of technology digital fashion has been implementing. The content has many different sub-links for further reading that are also relevant to digital fashion. This article does not address historically underrepresented populations or topics.

ToneYes I would say this article is neutral, it simply discusses the background of digital fashion and all it entails. I don't sense any bias in this article. I think there could be more added to the communication section, but every other section seemed well represented. I think this article highlights the innovation of digital fashion and doesn't lean toward any bias.

Sources and References

There are numerous reliable sources within this article, but I think it's lacking in the communication section. The sources provide a good description of the topic, especially when describing gamification, and how COVID has caused a rise in digital fashion. Majority of the sources are from 2020, the latest one dates back to 2011. I think there could be more usage of scholarly sources and less Instagram links and magazine articles. The links do work though.

Organization and writing quality

I do think all the contents and different sections are important but I think they could flow together better. I did not notice any spelling errors, just a couple sentences I could reword or make more concise.

Images and Media

The article only includes one image and I don't think it does the topic justice. There are a couple Instagram posts linked throughout the article, but I think more images would help paint the picture of digital fashion. The caption for the picture I was a little confused about, it's not descriptive enough to understand what's happening in the image.

Talk page discussion

There is not much in the talk page besides the need for an image to improve the article's quality and the need for a wiki page for Cat Taylor.

Overall impressions

This is a C-Class rated article for quality. The article describes the process of digital fashion and how its popularity has risen due to COVID-19. The communication and experience co-creation is short and could use expansion. It also has a great use of linked articles, but needs more pictures to show and describe the topic. I think this article has a good foundation, but could use some editing for the writing itself so it's more cohesive and concise.
