 Article Evaluation 

I evaluated an article on the 2012 Aurora, Colorado shooting. During my evaluation I discovered the following:


 * One of the first things seen when viewing the article is the statement "The subject of this article is controversial and content may be in dispute" - this is concerning as the article should purely present facts of the occurrence as opposed to bias or opinion based information.
 * The article is specific and provides good context by providing statistics from other mass shootings in America, however it could provide more details about the Aurora shooting itself since that it what it's supposed to be about
 * The article has up to date information
 * The article provides information on the perpetrator, but could add a section with all of the victims and information about them
 * The last section discusses conspiracy theories and really takes on more of a blog tone instead of an informational article tone. I believe conspiracy theories regarding the case can be addressed in an informational way, however this article fails to do so
 * All of the sources that I checked look credible to me, apart from the ones about conspiracy theories as they are all from people who believe the theory they are presenting
 * The article could use more sources and make them easier to find. It is unclear at times where the author of this article is getting their information from
 * It shows the article is of interest in 5 different WikiProjects
 * The article has a C-class rating
