Which article are you evaluating?
Aly & AJ

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose Aly & AJ for a few reasons. For one, they're a musical duo featuring two women, who are sisters, that write and perform songs that often feature relevant topics. I also chose them because, as a female duo, I feel it relates to the topic of our course Women and Power in Popular Culture. And lastly, I found their article listed on the list of C-Class articles, specifically the category "Women in Music."

Lead Section

 * Good first sentence, strong, to the point, and declares what the topic is.
 * I would combine the two sentences which follow, "They signed a recording contract with Hollywood Records in 2004. Their debut album, Into the Rush, debuted at number 36 on the US Billboard 200, and was later certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA)," to say "They signed a recording contract with Hollywood Records in 2004, and the following year released their debut album, Into the Rush, which debuted at number 36 on the US Billboard 200, and was later certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA)." The second sentence as it is feels too short and lacking information.
 * The closing sentence needs to be updated. They did release an album at the end of 2020 titled "We Don't Stop."

Content

 * 2004-2006 and 2007-2008 sections are well written, succinct, and very neutral.
 * Would not introduce Miley Cyrus as "Destiny Hope "Miley" Cyrus," but rather as her stage name.
 * Activism sections does well to stay neutral and not attempt any persuasion or take opinions.
 * Images are clear and depict both sisters in each image at the respective times they depict.
 * There could be more images from after 2013, especially considering they began releasing new music in 2017 and have been performing since then with their new material.
 * The citations are provided frequently.
 * Citations feature many certified articles and interviews featuring the sisters.
 * Talk page features the article on several WikiProject pages, which is beneficial since they are an underrepresented duo in the mainstream.
 * Most of the discussion is of people adding articles and citations.


 * The article is still listed as C-Class despite it seeming to be well written. It's neutral and succinct and covers their career mostly well.
 * I think it could be good for more information of their more recent works to be featured.
 * Biggest change I noticed was of course that their new album has been released, but the article mentions it as "expected in 2021," and of course the addition of more recent images of the duo.
 * I would assess this article as well developed but with room for improvement.
