Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article to evaluate because it was assigned to me in class. This article is important because it centers around a service that many of my classmates and I will need to use now as we search for jobs and network with others. My preliminary impression of the article was that it was very well written, extensive, and up-to-date.

Evaluate the article
Lead section

My evaluation of the Lead Section is that it is effective. It defines LinkedIn well and provides a concise overview. If someone just needed a one sentence explanation of what LinkedIn is, the Lead Section would serve well. The introductory sentence is clear and concise, and it contains a Content section that is organized and thorough.

My evaluation of the Content section is that it is relevant, up-to-date, and doesn't contain any off-topic content. The article also delves into how LinkedIn expanded their service in China, which was inclusive of them.

My evaluation of the tone and balance of the article is that it is of a neutral point of view. There isn't any favoritism for or against LinkedIn throughout the article, which is ideal.

My evaluation of the Sources and References section of the article is that it is extensive and contains reputable news articles as well as references from the LinkedIn Corporation itself. Most of the facts in the article have a footnote relating to a source. Many of the sources are current as well.

Finally, the article is well-developed, concise, clear, and easy to read. There are no grammatical or spelling errors that I could detect. The article's talk page reveals that it is a part of 5 different WikiProjects, as well as the subject of a Wiki Education Foundation-supported course assignment. It is well-organized and contains relevant images that enhance understanding of the topic, with effective captions.
