Which article are you evaluating?
North Creek High School

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article because I went to North Creek High School and was a member of the first graduating class. I can see that there is an extreme lack of information on this page and I am surprised that it is ranked "start" and not "stub" with how little information there is. When I was in high school and even now, I saw many reports in local news papers and reports from local journalists about the new school and I feel like much could be added.

Lead section:

- Introduces main topic in first sentence

- Lacks sufficient information

- Lacks in brief descriptions of major sections (article does not really even have major sections added)

- Much too short

Content:

- Though content is relevant, there is an extreme lack of information

- Content has not been updated in over a year

- Much content missing (achievements, academics, sports, clubs, extracurriculars)

Tone and Balance:

- Article is neutral

- No heavily biased claims

- No over or under represented viewpoints

- No minority or fringe viewpoints discussed

- No persuasion apparent

Sources and References:

- All facts backed by reliable sources

- Sources not thorough

- Most sources not current (2018) most current source is 2020

- Sources not extremely diverse

- More sources necessary

Organization and Writing Quality:

- While article is clear and easy to read, it is much too short and hard to gauge level of writing quality

- No spelling or grammatical errors detected

- Article is not well organized and has no break down of major sections

Images and Media:

- Two images included, one of the main entrance of the school, one of a jaguar (school mascot)

- Images not well captioned. Either lack a caption or writes a caption that could better serve another image

- Images not laid out in the most appealing way

Talk Page Discussion:

- No conversations present in the talk page

- Part of WikiProject Schools and within the scope of WikiProject United States

Overall Impressions:

- Overall extreme lack of content with the bare minimum amount of sources and information

- Only strength evident is the introductory sentence

- Article can greatly be improved with the addition fo subheadings for major sections, a larger scale of information, and more variety of sources

- Article completeness is poor and extremely underdeveloped

Suggestions:

- Overall the biggest weakness of this article is the extreme lack of content. The article simply introduces what North Creek High School is, but lacks information regarding things such as its creating/building, achievements, extracurriculars, academics, etc. The article could do very well with the addition of subheadings to delve more deeply into information regarding the school past that of the locating and mascot. The use of a higher number and variety of sources could aid in the collection and research of information and more images could be added for a higher level of visual representation.
