Which article are you evaluating?
Audre Lorde

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article because Audre Lorde is a notable figure who we frequently discuss in our class and whose writings have appeared in our coursework. She is especially important because she comes from the intersections between being Black, a woman, and a person with a chronic illness.

Evaluate the article
Overall, I found no issues with the article.

The sections are informative and concise, with no sections receiving undue weight over others. There was also no information that felt distracting or irrelevant. The article's sources also do a wonderful job of representing authors from variously historically underrepresented and marginalized backgrounds, especially Black and LGBTQ+ authors.

The article's tone is neutral. It does give a lot of information on Lorde's honors and awards, but in a neutral manner, simply stating the facts of what she has received as any other notable figure's Wikipedia page does.

Most of the discussions on the talk page are form 5+ years ago about issues that have since been resolved. There was a comment made in 2020 about the section on her life in Berlin containing excessive information.

This article has appeared in many course assignments sponsored by the Wiki Education Foundation.

In class, we tend to talk about Audre Lorde in a way that celebrates and lauds her as an activist, which strays from Wikipedia's neutrality policy, but other than that we discuss her life story in a very similar manner to her Wikipedia page.
