Which article are you evaluating?
Astroworld Festival crowd crush "Astroworld Festival Crowd Crush"

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I choose this article because I remember when this happened and how much media coverage it gained. This article matters because concerts and festivals happen all year round and safety should be the number one thing when encountering these. Seeing videos of trampling and people being crushed is so disturbing and knowing that people came to his festival to enjoy music and others lost their lives is why it needs to be spoken about. My preliminary impression was that this would cover more information regarding the deaths of those who went and more information on the aftermath that may not have been covered as much in media.

Evaluate the article
The lead section told a quick summary within the first few sentences which clear described the article's topic. In the lead section it doesn't give a brief description on the article's major section it just skips to how many people died and were injured, which does talk about what happened leading up to these moments and after. The lead section is concise with it's first two sentences but should've spent more time describing a summary of the entire article's sections. The content was relevant to the topic by describing the begin to the end of the incident, while also providing history on issues that live nation and information on precautions placed before the event. The content is lengthy and provides an exact description from 8pm to 2am which would've been better said highlighting major moments that caused the deaths. Including the aftermath of what Travis Scott faced could've been shorter and would've still shown the dynamic consequences of his actions. The article is neutral because it provides exact descriptions and details to the entirety of what happened but in discussing the preparations there is a tone of blame that is felt, it is evident in the writing that more security, staff, and help should've been there. I feel this blame when describing how many complaints were given to live nation from employees who felt there wasn't enough staff for the event. I feel like the preparations section specifically shows all the issues with the event before it even started. This article is well-written, heavily cited, and provides wikipedia pages for names/artists so readers can do their own research. This article cites primarily from news companies and major media companies coverage of these events. When hovering over certain names videos and pictures will pop up in a visually appealing way. Overall this article provided tons of information regarding the event and it's aftermath and those in the talk page are discussing issues with length but the article's content isn't being critiqued as much. I think this article is well-developed but could be better with fine tuning content and cutting uneccesary information.
