Which article are you evaluating?
Occult

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article because it is something I am very interested in. I had originally thought that the occult was an organization of evil and bad people, but that is the farthest from the case. I think it is important that misconceptions like this are dispelled, so those that do practice things that are involved with the occult, aren't frowned upon or looked at as bad or evil.

Evaluate the article
Lead Section: The lead sentence of this article is very informative without being too wordy. The lead section gives the reader an accurate overview of the topic with necessary details. There is nothing in the lead section that isn't present somewhere else in the article.

Content: This article has a ton of information about the history of the occult, and a very in depth description of where and how the word itself originated. There are some lesser known occult histories mentioned along with links to almost anything related to the occult. There are some things that could be added to make the article more up to date.

Tone and Balance: This article is very unbiased and neutral. It states the facts and doesn't persuade the reader one way or the other.

Sources and References: This article states sources, and all of the sources I checked have the accurate information. However, there are a few links that no longer work in this article.

Organization and Writing Quality: This article is very well organized. The sections are clear, concise, an easy to read. I didn't catch any grammar or spelling errors.

Images and Media: The article itself only contains two images which are also linked within the article. It does offer many links to other articles with images, but this article could use more appealing images.

Talk page discussions: This article is part of the WikiProject Occult. It says it was rated stub-class and mid importance, but I'm not sure what that means. The only conversations are that of talking about sources and citing and a correction of a misspelled word.

Overall impressions: This article is very well written, and it offers so much information on the origin of the word occult. It could offer more information on the history of the occult in other regions outside of the French history, and it could be more informative on what the occult is today. This article could use a little more development.
