Article Evaluation
AP Stylebook

Content evaluation

Everything in the article is strictly informational. The article is minimal so there isn't much room for distraction on unnecessary information.

The information seems to be basic so it can't be out of date. However, the picture is from a book from the edition from 2004. The last listed book is the 2017 version, which is not the latest available. This means there is a lot of room for updates on how the information has changed and been added.

The article could also benefit from more detailed information. The section on organization could be more specific. Currently each section only has a sentence. The history could also be improved from adding more specifics and perhaps adding the names of people involved.

Tone Evaluation

The article does not have much bias because it sticks to facts. However, there are parts of the article that make statements about the book "leading" in it's field and being a go-to by professionals. These statements can be seen as biased toward the book.

The article does not list any shortcomings of the book, meaning that the opinion represented is completely positive or neutral.

Source Evaluation

The links for this article do work. Each lead to some form of information that is mentioned in the article and supports what is written.

Most of the citations are trustworthy. There is one that comes directly from the library of congress. However, there is bias in a lot of the citations. A few of the linked references are news articles chronicling the successes of the of the book. This means all sources are either neutral or positive towards the AP stylebook. That bias is not noted in the wikipedia, instead they state it as fact.

Talk Page Check

Conversation behind the article speak a lot to how outdated the information is. As I mentioned someone brought up how the picture could be updated from 2004. Other minor talk points included formatting and information that seemed biased. One talk point was that the editor thought the article was 'lame' in comparison to how important the book was.

The article has been rated as start-class in wikiproject journalism, wikiproject books and wikiproject reference works.

This article refers to the book in a more bare nature. In class we go more in depth about the information important in the book and what constitutes AP style. The article does not explain much of what is in the book, instead sticking to the history and how it is updated year by year.
