Which article are you evaluating?
Magical girl

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article because it inherently relates to women in power, but it doesn't come from the "super hero" angle. I also like that I have some previous knowledge on the topic because I used to be really into anime, so I've seen a lot of the examples of magical girl shows that are listed. I think the article is well done, but more information about the history of magical girls as well as the critical analyses of the magical girl trope. This information matters as many new animated shows (such as Steven Universe and She-ra: Princess of Power), regardless of country of origin, take inspiration from magical girl shows of the past.

Evaluate the article
(Compose a detailed evaluation of the article here, considering each of the key aspects listed above. Consider the guiding questions, and check out the examples of what a useful Wikipedia article evaluation looks like.)

Lead Section:

I think the lead section is good as it provides a brief description of the main aspects and history of the trope. There could be another sentence in the last paragraph about parodies/deconstructions of the magical girl trope as they have become fairly common within the last decade.

Content:

There could be more content added about critiques of magical girls as well as more recent events within the magical girl canon. More information could be added about early magical girls as well. However, there is a good amount of content.

Tone and Balance:

The tone is fair and it doesn't sway one way or another.

Sources and References:

A few more recent sources and academic sources could be added, but otherwise good.

Organization and Writing Quality:

It is well organized and well written.

Images and Media:

The image of Wikipe-tan as a magical girl is very cute and useful. More images could be added throughout though as to show the differences between historical, popular, and modern magical girls.

Talk Page Discussion:

I'm pretty sure that we won't discuss magical girls in class. The talk page was last used in 2020 and the magical girl Wiki is a part of Wikipedia's anime and manga series.

Overall Impressions:

Overall, the article is accurate and contains enough information to cover the basics of the magical girl trope. However, more information could be added
