User:Jydl/Evaluate an Article

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose the Gothic & Lolita Bible article because I have seen scans of it online before, and I have always been interested in this magazine that was discontinued in early 2000s. Some of the artists I like were inspired by designs from this magazine as well. My first impression is that the article is short, perhaps because the magazine is not very well known, but it still had a decent amount of references.
