Which article are you evaluating?
Sade (singer)

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.)

I chose this article because it was connected to African diaspora which we have discussed in class. I truly admire Sade as a woman and love her music as well. Discussing black women while talking about black culture is very important to me so I chose a Black woman that I resonated with. It was important for me to choose an article that was interesting and would stick with me while still pertaining to the topics discussed in class.

The lead section of the article was well written but overly detailed and could be concise. Many points brought up in the introduction were restated throughout the article so to avoid repetition I would take out some paragraphs. The images provided in the article are visually appealing and enhance the understanding that Sade is a singer who performs for audiences worldwide. The article can be improved especially in the "Personal Life" section. I feel that more can be discussed rather than the men she's been with. This section can speak more about her and her son's relationships and any other unknown facts about Sade. In the "Early Life" section, her and her parents relationship and how that helped her become a singer is important to include and was left out. I feel that there can be more background knowledge of Sade in the "Legacy and influence" section to further establish why Sade as a singer is so legendary. It can also explain the reason as to why she even makes music. This will show why so many resonate with her and love the content she puts out. Her work ethic and how hard her band pushed to make it to the top could have also be included for emphasis. The "Career" section of this article was very clear and backed up by sources really well. The "Honours, awards and nominations" section includes accurate information but could be written better and more accolades that she received should be listed. Aside from this the links provided at the end of the article work and are current as well as diverse. The talk page gives this article a C-rating and is of interest to the following Wiki-projects: African diaspora, Women, Women in Music, R&B and Soul Music as well as others. Overall, the article was very easy to read.
