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


 * Name of article: Xiao Hong
 * Briefly describe why you have chosen this article to evaluate.  I chose Xiao Hong for evaluation because her ideas are more distinctive. Her works can portray more profoundly the existence and life tragedies of lower class women in China. Her work made me interested in studying her more deeply.

Lead

 * Guiding questions


 * Does the Lead include an introductory sentence that concisely and clearly describes the article's topic?
 * Does the Lead include a brief description of the article's major sections?
 * Does the Lead include information that is not present in the article?
 * Is the Lead concise or is it overly detailed?

Lead evaluation
The lead provides a good overview of Shaw's basic personal information. It gives a good insight into Xiao Hong's life and her authorship.

In this lead, I think the viewer needs to get to know Xiao Hong better and add some of Xiao Hong's Article/work in the top part, which will help the viewer get to know Xiao Hong better.

Content

 * Guiding questions


 * Is the article's content relevant to the topic?
 * Is the content up-to-date?
 * Is there content that is missing or content that does not belong?
 * Does the article deal with one of Wikipedia's equity gaps? Does it address topics related to historically underrepresented populations or topics?

Content evaluation
The content is new but lacks some detailed descriptions. I think the content lacks some analysis of the writing style, which is very characteristic of Xiao Hong's articles. The autobiographical narrative method of "Shangshi Jie," as suggested in the content, is worthy of adding some text to analyze and let the readers understand Xiaohong's writing style and narrative method.

The content and style of Xiao Hong's writing are very characteristic, not limited to the narrow vision of intellectual women, and avoiding the elitist misunderstanding of women's literature. Xiao Hong's works in the social context of the time are very thoughtful and worth reading.

Tone and Balance

 * Guiding questions


 * Is the article neutral?
 * Are there any claims that appear heavily biased toward a particular position?
 * Are there viewpoints that are overrepresented, or underrepresented?
 * Does the article attempt to persuade the reader in favor of one position or away from another?

Tone and balance evaluation
This article is a character's Wikipedia, so opinions or positions do not appear in this Wikipedia.

The main purpose of this article is to help people understand Xiao Hong, so it does not have the ability to change the viewpoint or position of the person reading it.

Sources and References

 * Guiding questions


 * Are all facts in the article backed up by a reliable secondary source of information?
 * Are the sources thorough - i.e. Do they reflect the available literature on the topic?
 * Are the sources current?
 * Are the sources written by a diverse spectrum of authors? Do they include historically marginalized individuals where possible?
 * Check a few links. Do they work?

Sources and references evaluation
All secondary resources are reliable and well documented.

The links are working.

The resource is complete, but if I add what I mentioned above, it analyzes literary style and language features. It would take a lot of secondary sources to prove it. I think more resources are needed to follow up on the proof.

Organization

 * Guiding questions


 * Is the article well-written - i.e. Is it concise, clear, and easy to read?
 * Does the article have any grammatical or spelling errors?
 * Is the article well-organized - i.e. broken down into sections that reflect the major points of the topic?

Organization evaluation
This article is very clear, and those who read it will get a general idea of what Xiao hong is all about.

But I think it lacks some categories. The article lacks Xiao Hong's writing style, and a little analysis of each article could be done. It would help the readers better to understand the purpose of Xiao Hong's writing.

Images and Media

 * Guiding questions


 * Does the article include images that enhance understanding of the topic?
 * Are images well-captioned?
 * Do all images adhere to Wikipedia's copyright regulations?
 * Are the images laid out in a visually appealing way?

Images and media evaluation
The picture is a photograph of Xiao Hong to give the reader a general idea of the image. He clearly states the history of the portrait. Which library it came from.

I think the book cover could be added to the picture aspect. It would help people reading Wikipedia to find out more quickly if they want to learn more about Xiao Hong's work.

Checking the talk page

 * Guiding questions


 * What kinds of conversations, if any, are going on behind the scenes about how to represent this topic?
 * How is the article rated? Is it a part of any WikiProjects?
 * How does the way Wikipedia discusses this topic differ from the way we've talked about it in class?

Talk page evaluation
On the topic of performance. I don't think this Wikipedia is comprehensive enough, and we can describe Shaw's life in more detail. In my opinion, Xiao Hong's life was very rough. We should read more sources to describe Xiao Hong's experience.

I think the way Wikipedia is a little freer than in the classroom and gives us more opportunities to think about it. What can I do for this article, and what parts need to be added? It would make us think a lot more.

Overall impressions

 * Guiding questions


 * What is the article's overall status?
 * What are the article's strengths?
 * How can the article be improved?
 * How would you assess the article's completeness - i.e. Is the article well-developed? Is it underdeveloped or poorly developed?

Overall evaluation
The whole is very clear and complete and does what is needed to give the reader a quick understanding of Xiao Hong. But it lacks some details about the way Xiao Hong writes. Personal experiences also need some additional information. This is something that needs to be searched for articles to explore further.
