Mindfulness

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article because it relates to my course and is general enough to have a substantial amount of information and a talk page.

Evaluate the article
The article has an effective lead section, which provides an easy-to-understand identification of what the term "mindfulness" means. It summarizes the different sections of the article, including the history of mindfulness, its usage in psychology, and criticisms. The page contains a wealth of information, with content mostly focusing on the history of mindfulness and its applications in psychology. The article could use more information on the criticisms of mindfulness, particularly in regards to the Western approach. The article is well-developed and organized, with a neutral tone. Generally there is a good usage of citations, however there were some parts of the article that I found to be lacking in citations, particularly in the history subsection. There is a general lack of images throughout the article, which it could benefit from. The article is very well-developed and is particularly strong in exploring mindfulness as it relates to philosophy and psychology. My main critique is that the article is skewed toward the Western understanding of mindfulness, and could be more balanced as a whole.
