Which article are you evaluating?
(Fantomina)

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 is the most recent text we have been working on in class. My first impressions of the article were good, there is substantial information of the plot, context within amatory fiction, and character descriptions. It also has a section on the relevant themes and genre of the text. There is also a thorough bibliography.

Evaluate the article
(Compose a detailed evaluation of the article here, considering each of the key aspects listed above. Consider the guiding questions, and check out the examples of what a useful Wikipedia article evaluation looks like.)

Evaluating content:

- nothing felt out of place or distracting.

- there are interesting notes of both the authro and publication, as well as information of its stage adaptation. The only pictures are the title page of the first publication and the author.

- There does not seem to be any equity gaps. The themes note the historical response to amatory fiction, class issues, etc.

Evaluating tone:

- The article is extremely neutral. Its focus is mainly on plot synopsis and general descriptions. Its historical context appears neutral, examining what reactions to text might've been, and how it relates to notable events of the time.

Evaluating sources:

- the links in the citations work. References are from academic sources/books. There are six different scholars/researchers cited in the bibliography, all published relatively recently, except for an article from the 90s.

Talk page:

- The page is filed under the "mid-importance" tab under novels. It is rated as "start-class".

- It doesn't seem like any conversations are going on for the "Fantomina" text, its most recent activity in the revisions was from 2009.

- Probably importantly, the Wikipedia article of Fantomina feels much more neutral than our conversations in class on amatory fiction.
