 * Chiara Ingrao: (Chiara Ingrao)
 * She is a feminist activist who utilized literature as a form of activism.

Lead

 * Guiding questions

The lead includes a brief introduction of Chiara Ingrao; however, it does not explain what the article is about. Additionally, it looks like more work can be done as there are no sections to this article but rather, just an introduction. For there is just a lead, there are no additional information that is included in the article that isn't in the lead. Additionally, the lead seemed more like a biography of Chiara Ingrao's life; therefore, I think it could be more concise and could have more information about her political work for feminism.


 * 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?

Content

 * Guiding questions

The content that this article used is up to date based on the references that were cited. Although this article is significant as it covers women activist, an underrepresented topic, I believe there could be more information about how her actions could be seen as women political activism.


 * 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?

Tone and Balance

 * Guiding questions
 * I believe that the article had a neutral tone, where the language used was not biased. The article was based on objective facts; therefore, it did not lean towards a particular position. The article did not have enough coverage so consequently, I cannot judge if it was neutral or not.


 * 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?

Sources and References

 * Guiding questions

This article used multiple resources to backup the written work. I believe the references used were reliable and there was a good mix of the type of resources with diverse authors, allowing for a good spectrum. The article also used current sources and the sources linked worked allowing for readers to read more about her.


 * 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?

Organization

 * Guiding questions

The writing was concise and clear. I would criticize the writing to be choppy but it is not something that would bother readers too much. As the article only has a lead, I cannot comment on the organization of the overall article.


 * 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?

Images and Media

 * Guiding questions

There are no images in this article.


 * 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?

Checking the talk page

 * Guiding questions

There were no conversation going on in the talk section and the article had no rating. However, this article is part of the WikiProject for women writers; therefore, I believe that it interacts with other articles under feminist activism and women writers. Being under the WikiProject of women writers, it articulates that writing, translation and literature is a part of feminist activism which was a topic that was articulated in class. Due to the article only having a lead which included only a biography, there were no additional topics discussed that differed from class material.


 * 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?

Overall impressions

 * Guiding questions
 * I think the article did a great job at giving background information about who she is and where her views come from. However, I believe that this article could have included more information about her work as a writer and how her work contributed to feminism. Therefore, judging this article based on its contribution to the topic of women writers, I would consider it to be underdeveloped and incomplete. This is because it did not go into details about her work and the relationship to feminism. To improve this article, I would recommend providing examples of her work and how it is significant to the work of feminists. Additionally, I might include other women writers who have done similar work, or other women writers in her timeline.


 * 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?
