Which article are you evaluating?
Video game live streaming

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 the article because I am super into all things video games. I also used to stream my video game gameplay on my own twitch.tv account. I also have a lot of knowledge pertaining to live streaming video games. This matters because video games are growing in popularity. Video games are affecting many lives that range from all ages. My first impression of the article is that it is good and all the stuff there is important, but I can add things to it that I know. I just need to find sources to back up my own knowledge.

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.)

Lead Section- the lead section has a solid intro sentence, but lacks a brief description of the major sections. The lead is concise and does not have unwanted information.

Content- The content is relevant and up to date for the most part. I do believe that some content is missing, and I do plan on adding some to it. It does not deal with equity gaps.

Tone And Balance- The article is neutral due to its lack in political involvement. Politics also do not really affect this topic enough for it to be relevant. There are really no biases that I can pick up on.

Sources and References- All sources seem to be reliant like New York Times or peer reviewed content from universities. All links seem to be working which I think is a good sign.

Organization and Writing Quality- The article is concise, but can be elaborated a bit more. Also, more information should be added. From what I have read I have not picked up on any grammatical errors. The article is well broken down into sections that are clear, though some content sections should be added.

Images and Media- There are no images on the article. I do think that images have their place in the article though, so I may add some.

Talk Page Discussion- The talk page is quiet on this article. The article is rated with an S, which means it is preliminary and has room to improve. This article seems a bit different from the ones we discussed in class because it seems to have a less serious connotation because of the lack of bias and political involvement.

Overall Impressions- Overall the article seems like a great choice for me. It is about a topic that I am knowledgeable and passionate about. The article has plenty room for improvement, but also has a strong foundation to start with. I believe that this article is 65 % complete. The article is adequately developed, but just needs more content and a bit of brushing up. The backbone for a great article is there, now I just need to build around it.
