 * Name of article: London fog (beverage)
 * I chose this article because I enjoy the beverage. It would be fun to include more information about this and to learn more.

Lead

 * Guiding questions


 * Does the Lead include an introductory sentence that concisely and clearly describes the article's topic?
 * Yes, since it is a drink, the article just introduces the drink. People reading would clearly know what the article would be about. But along with basic information, there's other known names, what exactly is in it, and just an overview of the drink in two sentences.
 * Does the Lead include a brief description of the article's major sections?
 * Not necessarily. The Lead just gives a basic definition of the beverage. There could be more information to lead to the major sections. There is a belief of where the drink came from, which could be unnecessary.
 * Does the Lead include information that is not present in the article?
 * No. It just gives a general overview of what the London fog is. The contents have some more details not presented in the lead.
 * Is the Lead concise or is it overly detailed?
 * It is concise, but a few more information could be added with sources. It seems too short and simple.

Content

 * Guiding questions


 * Is the article's content relevant to the topic?
 * Yes. The content does not have unnecessary topics. They connected people with the drink (adding the health benefits topic) and topics people would be interested in to learn more about (production, distribution, and variation). There isn't distracting information.
 * Is the content up-to-date?
 * Yes. It seems like the references are from 2014-2019. It is within the decade.
 * Is there content that is missing or content that does not belong?
 * I don't think there is content that doesn't belong. The contents written are relevant, but I would include more details in the content.

Tone and Balance

 * Guiding questions


 * Is the article neutral?
 * Yes. It doesn't seem to be trying to convince us of anything (example: it is the best). It gives us an idea of what exactly it is.
 * Are there any claims that appear heavily biased toward a particular position?
 * No. The content included are for information purposes. Not persuasion.
 * Are there viewpoints that are overrepresented, or underrepresented?
 * No. It is very neutral about the drink.
 * Does the article attempt to persuade the reader in favor of one position or away from another?
 * It does not. The article is written in a neutral tone and simply.

Sources and References

 * Guiding questions


 * Are all facts in the article backed up by a reliable secondary source of information?
 * Not really. Most of the content could be backed up my sources. The sales and distribution could use sources because it does sound like an assumption. Also, the history does not include any references, unsure how the writer would know it was used with peppermint tea and why it was changed to earl grey. The reliability is questionable right now.
 * Are the sources thorough - i.e. Do they reflect the available literature on the topic?
 * They have good information but unsure if it is true, there isn't sources for a few. The content on the production uses a fine source and does reflect on the literature.
 * Are the sources current?
 * Yes. They are ranging from 2014-2019. They all seem recent.
 * Check a few links. Do they work?
 * Yes. All of the links work and lead to an article or a wiki article.

Organization

 * Guiding questions


 * Is the article well-written - i.e. Is it concise, clear, and easy to read?
 * The article is well-written. I don't notice any grammatical errors. It is a short and easy read.
 * Does the article have any grammatical or spelling errors?
 * There is not any grammatical or spelling errors.
 * Is the article well-organized - i.e. broken down into sections that reflect the major points of the topic?
 * Yes. It is organized with the content. The information doesn't overlap and includes relevant information based on the topic.

Images and Media

 * Guiding questions


 * Does the article include images that enhance understanding of the topic?
 * Yes. One image. Could use more to see the variation because it looks like other white color drinks. Could include an image to make it stand out to other drinks.
 * Are images well-captioned?
 * The image is captioned. It just has the name of the drink, which seems to be enough for a drink simple as this.
 * Do all images adhere to Wikipedia's copyright regulations?
 * I believe so. It looks like a photo the writer took.
 * Are the images laid out in a visually appealing way?
 * There's one image that doesn't seem visually appealing because it doesn't stand out to my eye. More images would be helpful and make the page more appealing.

Checking the talk page

 * Guiding questions


 * What kinds of conversations, if any, are going on behind the scenes about how to represent this topic?
 * Not much of a conversation on here. It shows the edits.
 * How is the article rated? Is it a part of any WikiProjects?
 * It is rated as Stub-class on the project's quality scale. It is part of the WikiProject Food and Drink.
 * How does the way Wikipedia discusses this topic differ from the way we've talked about it in class?
 * I think this Wikipedia differs because it is very short and simple. The one's we talked about in class are longer and would usually be a "source" to some research, but this one doesn't seem to have enough information to be used as a source yet.

Overall impressions

 * Guiding questions


 * What is the article's overall status?
 * It needs more improvements. There are lots of blanks that could be filled (history, sales and distribution). The article needs to be more complete, right now just simple that could be expanded.
 * What are the article's strengths?
 * There are many different content.
 * How can the article be improved?
 * More information in the content would be helpful.
 * How would you assess the article's completeness - i.e. Is the article well-developed? Is it underdeveloped or poorly developed?
 * I think it is underdeveloped. There needs to be more information and sources included for it to be more reliable.
