Lead[edit]
Guiding questions


 * Does the Lead include an introductory sentence that concisely and clearly describes the article's topic?
 * Yes
 * Does the Lead include a brief description of the article's major sections?
 * There is no section other than biography which is very vague and which is the whole purpose of the wiki article itself, so I guess
 * Does the Lead include information that is not present in the article?
 * The lead includes information about where her art is held, that is not present or elaborated upon in the rest of the article
 * Some specifics like the medium she uses and that she is a large format photographer is not information included elsewhere
 * Is the Lead concise or is it overly detailed?
 * It is concise, it only uses 3 sentences

Content[edit]
Guiding questions


 * Is the article's content relevant to the topic?
 * Yes
 * Is the content up-to-date?
 * The most recent date used is 2016, there is no dates provided as to when she was shown in museums and galleries or dates of when she taught so that is unclear
 * Is there content that is missing or content that does not belong?
 * Some dates are missing and elaboration on her processes

Tone and Balance[edit]
Guiding questions


 * Is the article neutral?
 * For the most part, yes.
 * Are there any claims that appear heavily biased toward a particular position?
 * Perhaps, “Indeed, Sternbach is regarded as a master and pioneer of the 20th-21st-century revival of early analog processes” because no where in the article does it say who regards this to be true.
 * Are there viewpoints that are overrepresented, or underrepresented?
 * Maybe some inclusions of her criticisms would make it more unbiased
 * Does the article attempt to persuade the reader in favor of one position or away from another?
 * Given that there is only praise given to the artist in the article, with no inclusion of criticisms, one might say the reader is being convinced into a high opinion of Sternbach

Overall impressions[edit]
Guiding questions

 * Serves as a good overview and a source for resources to learn more

 * How would you assess the article's completeness - i.e. Is the article well-developed? Is it underdeveloped or poorly developed?

Underdeveloped for the reasons stated before.. A good overview but I am left wondering what Jonu Sternbach has actually done and what kind of work she produces and why. .
