 * Name of article: English studies
 * I'm partially doing this for my english class

Lead
The Lead presented necessary information. Although, it does appear to be too detailed. I think the courses/scholarship segment on lead could be omitted or perhaps be given a whole different section for itself.

Content
On the "Fields" section, it has a table that focused on literature's components(?). I think that doesn't belong considering they already linked Literature to its own page. In regards to addressing English Studies' involvement in high school, Britain was the only one listed.

Tone and Balance
This page focuses of English major and not really english studies in general.

Sources and References
For the length of the article, the resources should have been more. Some of the links do not work. Some of the sources are improperly annotated.

Organization
Grammar and spelling is great as well as the organization of topics and sub topics.

Images and Media
The image used is appropriate through poorly placed. It does not have a caption. It can be relevant but the exclusion of this image would not affect the article. The source of the image was not listed.

Checking the talk page
They are mostly addressing how the article excludes some necessary topics and if the article is viable in general. It proposes merge, revision and more information. This article is high on the priority of wikiprojects and everyone (one the talk page) would agree that it is poorly written.

Overall impressions
This article has a lot of room for improvement. The contributors know how to write the specific subtopics in detail. For such a general topic, they do not do it justice and just offered one aspect of the entire discipline. It is nowhere near complete and it has been poorly developed so far.
