Which article are you evaluating?
Übermensch

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose to evaluate this article because it is an important concept from Friedrich Nietzsche's work that has modern implications. It is useful for this article to be robust because the concept of the Übermensch can be applied to modern life, or used to better understand Nieztsche's work. My first impression of this article was that it provides adequate introductory information but is lacking in citations.

Evaluate the article
The lead section has a strong and concise introductory sentence. The lead does not include a brief description of every section of the article. It is lacking information that could be used to better summarize the article in its entirety. The content is up-to-date and is relevant to the topic. The article refers to Nietzsche's books and his personal life in order to provide contextual information for the concept that it is discussing. The tone is neutral and does not reflect and bias or subjectivity from the author. Each point is made with objective fact rather than an opinion of Nietzsche. The sources is a major weakness in this article. There are several paragraphs that do not include any citations whatsoever, which calls into question their credibility. The section titled: "The Death of God and the creation of new values" needs stronger citations for the article to be stronger. However, there are various sources which are cited in other parts of the article. The organization of the writing is clear and understandable, and there are no grammatical errors. There is only one image in the article, which is a black-and-white image of Nietzsche. More images could be used to clarify Nietzsche's concept of the Übermensch or other facets of his life. The talk section of this article is hostile and messy. Many people disagree on how to present Nietzsche's controversial status as a Nazi. I think that the article may need to include more information to detail Nietzsche's Nazi affiliation, because could serve as an important contextual detail to understanding him personally. The article was rated as "Start-class" and "Mid-Importance", which reflects how the article still can be vastly improved and it is a considerably important topic within philosophy. I think that the article is under-developed. It can be improved by adding more details to the introduction to make it a more comprehensive synopsis of the article. Furthermore, more images could be added to the sections that detail Nietzsche's personal life and his major works. Also, the section on Nazism should include more transparency to capture the essence of who Nietzsche was and what he believed. The strengths of this article lie in the clear structure and presentation of facts. More sources and citations would be useful additions.
