Chuck Jones

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.)

Chuck Jones is an important figure in the history of animation, as he created some of the first, truly memorable animations. Cartoons, such as Looney Tunes, Bugs Bunny, and Tom and Jerry, were created by Mr. Jones. This matters because cartoons and other animated films have taken a strong hold on our world, and they haven't stopped being popular. Whereas before, animation was intended for children, shows like Family Guy, South Park, Rick and Morty, and Bojack Horseman have mainly adult audiences. Overall, this is a well put-together article about Chuck Jones—it includes all the relevant information and is organized appropriately to find whatever information one may need.

The lead section is good. It is clear and concise, doesn't include information not from the article, and it includes a description of the article's main sections. The content is relevant, up-to-date, and not skewed in any direction that may be misleading or false. The article is neutral and unbiased, and viewpoints are accurately represented for what they are, whether mainstream or fringe. The sources are thorough and back up practically all the asserted facts about Chuck Jones. They are current, and the links work as well. The article is well-written, well-organized, and it does not have any grammatical errors. There should be more images, as they are lacking. There is only one image of an actual cartoon Jones created, so more pictures of his cartoons would be good. Pictures of Jones receiving awards or of Jones interacting with other animation artists would also be good.

The talk page shows that there is an argument between two editors about the stylistic writing choices surrounding a controversy during Chuck Jones' life. Primarily, the editors are arguing over whether to be more sympathetic or blunt/harsh when discussing Jones' controversies. They both seek to be neutral, and I think their heated discussion in the Talk page is a testament to the quality of this article. It is a part of a WikiProject on animations. Overall, this article is very good, I would just add more pictures. Its main strength is its neutrality and balance.
