This is where you will complete your article evaluation. Please use the template below to evaluate your selected article.


 * Name of article: Uniform Power of Attorney Act (Uniform Power of Attorney Act)
 * I have always been fascinated by Law as a subject. Therefore, this article particularly stood out to me since just recently, I came across different readings in my POLSCI research class on the client-attorney relationship. I hence chose this article to do my evaluation on, in hopes that what I have read can also be put to good use in questioning the chosen sources.

Lead
The lead introduces the Uniform Power of Attorney Act in 1-2 sentences - what it is and what it does.

The lead includes a brief description of the article's major sections through the content table, situated after the introduction paragraph.

The lead does not include information not present in the article.

The lead is very concise and straight to the point.

Content
Article's content is all related to the topic. Most are up to date. No content particularly amiss or that does not belong. This article does not relate to historically underrepresented populations or topics.

Tone and Balance

 * Guiding questions
 * The article is neutral, only focused on delivering facts backed up by secondary source information or some sort of citations. No particular claims or viewpoints that may have shown biases toward a particular position or that may have been overrpresented or underrepresented since many of the claims were objective. The article therefore, does not aim to persuade the reader in favor of one position or away from another since it is only delivering objective claims.

Sources and References
All the facts in the article is backed up by reliable secondary source of information.
 * Guiding questions

The sources and references are thorough, usually from varying journals and articles by different authors.

Some sources date to the 90s and early 2000s but also include some from 2018.

Most of the links work and takes me to the journal/article sites.

They do not really include historically marginalised individuals...

Organization
The article is indeed well written. It is very short, concise, clear and easy to read. The article does not have any grammatical or spelling errors as far as I have checked. It is also well organised and broken down into small sections, reflecting major points of the topic.

Images and Media
The article only includes one image which was a writing titled, "Only by me" by William Shakespeare. I don't see any correlation between the photo used and the understanding of this topic. The image just mentions that it is a part of the common law series which does not do much in explaining its purpose and value. The image is placed on the Upper right hand corner of the page which doesn't draw a lot of attention to it but instead, gives it the right amount of focus one would pay.

Checking the talk page
No conversations. Just ratings by the law portal and the United States portal. The article is rated as start-class and of low-importance. It is also a part of other WikiProjects. Specifically, the WikiProject United States in which aims to "improve the coverage of topics relating to the USA on Wikipedia.

Overall impressions
Overall, it is just considered of less importance and a start-class rating. The strengths are that this article includes only relevant information regarding the history of the Act, why it was designed and the adoption of the Act. The article could be improved by supplementing additional citations/sources of information. The article is concise and clear but personally, to me could still be developed further.
