 * Name of article:Canada at the 2007 World Championships in Athletics
 * I am Canadian and a track and Field athlete here at UW. This article lacks a lot of info including a summary, I hope to help expand this article and provide more information.

Lead
No lead is currently included.

Content
There is a lack on content on this page. It only includes facts on results including metal counts, who was in each event and qualification rounds. The article is missing individual results of the athletes who did not place in the top 10. It also doesn't include the athletes status and how they have done after this meet competitively. I believe this article could also include the athletes sponsorships and companies that they endorse.

Tone and Balance
This article has no lead or summary so there is no information that could be biased as the only informations included is facts from results at the championship.

Sources and References
All the references are from the same website of CBC news which could be considered based as it is a news station. This article needs more references from scholarly sources and approved sources to help eliminate biased opinions.

Images and Media
This article includes two pictures one of the Canadian flag and one of Canadian athlete Gary Reed. Both images are well captioned and appropriate for the article. It apears the images adhere to wikipedias copyright regulations and are visually appealing.

Overall impressions
The page is very bare and needs a lot of work and more information. It is lacking a lot of details and any form of experience or story from the World Championships in 2007. The article has a lot of basic facts about the placing and metal count from the athletes at the World Championships. It can be improved by adding info of individual events and more specifics about the performances and athlete biographies. So far the article is well developed and has a clear layout it is just lacking in information and substance.
