Chris Bumstead

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article to evaluate because I sincerely look up to Chris Bumstead and its crucial to the public's eye to have an accurate representation of his life. Chris is a truly inspirational bodybuilder and anyone that is preforming research on the greats or finding information on the origins of past Olympians, will look at this wikipedia page and be inflicted with confusion. As I was further researching his background, I noticed some errors and decided to chose it as my article to evaluate.

Evaluate the article
The article begins with sincere relevance to the article's topic. It is prominent in discussing the main generation of Christ Bumstead. His date of birth and general title was presented and provides a fair introduction. Throughout reading the article, I gained a slight confusion between the repetition of information and found areas of improvement where relevant links can be added. It is Start-class rated, thus there is a lot of room for improvement.

As every Wiki page should have, there are a few links missing to the article that should be added it is the first time these topics are discussed. When mentioning the sports that Chris was played as a child, all of the sports are linked to other Wiki pages, except the fencing. Maybe the addition of the definition of Potassium could be added to help readers further understand the importance of his injury.

There is a repetition of information between the two sections of Early Life and Career. First off, the mention of the sports that he played as a kid was presented twice. All in all, the information being presented should have more of a flow and sound like a more chronological order of details. The early life section included points that dealt with events of 2022, instead of inserted them into the career section of his biography.

The citations being used are seem to be reliable sources and match up with the information that is provided in the page. The outside sources all seem neutral as they just discuss the general biographies of Chris and don't provide as bias towards a specific way of looking at his life. There's a good balance between his Olympia life, personal life and his history. The Wiki page includes a lot of good information being provided by multiple sources, but it also seems to just have just a generalization of all of these pages. Not much depth is provided, but these details can easily be added. This includes some of his record maxes that set him apart from other competitors, which is provided is in the article cited "The Route to Massive Legs." In addition, some information that is missing is the mention of his brand RAW nutrition. Chris led the rise of RAW with its founders Matt Jensen and Domenic Iavocane. The brand is a sincere staple in the fitness industry and is a successful side hustle for Chris, making it a true addition to the Wikipedia article. Finally, there is no mention of Chris' current relationship status. In any biography of a person, I feel it is crucial to mention marital status, for which Chris is happily married, showing the article is out of date.

As far as the talk discussion section, there was not much information provided by other users to further better the page. One discussion happened far back in 2021, where an image was deleted and never replaced, meaning there are no true images of the person the biography is about. This was due to a copyright violation.

To reiterate, the page needs a copious amount of work if it wants to success in representing the person being described. There can be multiple changes in the linage of the page and sections added to further organize the information being provided.
