Which article are you evaluating?
I am evaluating the Kirby article.

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article because Kirby has been a video game character that I have played and loved for a long time. I believe that Kirby is one of Nintendo's most well-known characters, appearing not only in video games but also in anime and comics. I think this article matters because Kirby is an iconic Nintendo character who has been around for almost two decades and will continue to be for many more to come. My preliminary impression of this article was that it was quite detailed in describing Kirby; his history, his characteristics, and his relevance were all included. In fact, I was surprised to learn much of the information in the article that I did not know before.

Content
The content of the article is relevant to the topic. The article is coherent and discusses several aspects of Kirby's character, such as his concept and creation, characteristics, and appearances in media. Additionally, the content is entirely up to date. The article was last edited on February 7th, 2021, which was less than a week ago, and there are several sources in the references that were retrieved in 2020. All of the content for this article is relevant. There is no content missing or content that doesn't belong. I would just say that there could be a few more pictures involving Kirby (potentially his original drawing/form). Lastly, this article does not deal with equity gaps.

Tone and Balance
This article is from a neutral point of view, as it only covers facts and knowledge about Kirby. Because the article is written about a character, there do not seem to be any claims that appear heavily biased toward a particular position or viewpoints that are overrepresented or underrepresented. The article does not attempt to persuade the reader in favor of one position or away from another.

Sources and References
Most of the facts are backed up by a reliable source of information, but the article can definitely have more citations in certain sections. There are a few sentences that even have a "citation needed" at the end of them. The sources that are present, however, are thorough and reflect the available literature on Kirby. They contain information about dates, names, and places regarding the history of Kirby along with some images. More than three quarters of the sources are from within the past 7 years with the oldest of them dating back to 2006. There are several articles from last year and this year as well, indicating that the sources are up to date. There were many different publishers, writers, and sources used for this article, which allowed for multiple contributions. However, I think that information could have been found in better sources than some of the ones used. Lastly, as far as I checked, the links in the references work.
