The article that I am going to be creating is about the book Little Boy Found by L.K Fox, there is currently not an article that is already created so I will be creating a brand-new article. For this assignment, I will be evaluating an article on another book, similar to this one. The book is called The Girl on the Train, by Paula Hawkins. Everything in the article is relevant and all the sub topics are focused on the book. There are sub headings like the plot, reception and film adaptation. It could be said that the film adaptation is not needed due to the article being based on the book and not on the movie. The article is mostly neutral; there are no statements or quotes that are biased towards or against the book. The only thing in the article that could be bias is the article states “Many reviews referred to the book as the next Gone Girl”. The article then does not provide any further information about these reviews and does not provide a link to any reviews. This could maybe be counted as being biased or it also could count as lacking in evidence. Most view-points are represented in the correct way, however there is not a character section. Having a character section is very important especially when the article is discussing a book. It allows the readers to know what the characters in the book are like and can provide great detail and depth. All the citations in the article all work correctly, they are relevant and support the claims that the article makes. For example, in one of the first sentences of the article it states who the book is written by, the name of the author is then hyperlinked, which leads to the authors Wikipedia page. This is helpful because it means that the reader is able to find out further information about the author and other books that she may have published. All the sources that are provided to back up the information come from a relevant and reliable source. The majority of them are hyperlinked to other Wikipedia pages. However, some references are linked to newspaper articles that could be deemed as bias as they all talk about the book in a positive way, using other people’s opinions rather than talking about the book in a neutral way. All of the information is up to date, this is mostly because the book is new and was only released a couple of years ago. Something that could be added to the article is that of a character section as mentioned above.

The talk page discusses if the plot section needs to be trimmed down to possible two paragraphs. One editor has then included a new plot section in the talk page that is only two paragraphs long. The plot is also talked about again as to whether it should be in a more chronological order. The article is rated in the start class, this means that the article is developing bit is quite incomplete, it provides meaningful content however some readers may require more. It also may need more reliable sources to back up the information and statements being made. The way that Wikipedia discusses the topic is different from the way in which we have been learning and the modules I have completed is because in the modules it states that all sources have to be from a neutral reliable source. However, some of the sources and references in the article do not come from neutral source and also come from newspapers. Something that the modules said we couldn’t reference in our articles.
