Evaluate an article
This is where you will complete your article evaluation. Please use the template below to evaluate your selected article.


 * Name of article: (link)
 * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Me_Too_movement#cite_note-:1522-41


 * Briefly describe why you have chosen this article to evaluate.
 * I have chosen the Me Too Wikipedia page to evaluate because it is a social movement that I have always been encompassed in. I have kept up with the social movement and interviews and just wanted to read more about it.

Lead

 * Guiding questions


 * Does the Lead include an introductory sentence that concisely and clearly describes the article's topic?
 * Yes, the lead does a great job by having the introductory sentence be clear and informative.


 * Does the Lead include a brief description of the article's major sections?
 * Not exactly. The brief description seems to only include the media part of the movement and the big names involved with the movement. Then there is a table of contents of all the main points discussed like regions of the world, impact, and even #HimToo. These main contents should have been mentioned in the introduction.


 * Does the Lead include information that is not present in the article?
 * No, the lead does a great job mentioning everything.


 * Is the Lead concise or is it overly detailed?
 * Yes

Content

 * Guiding questions


 * Is the article's content relevant to the topic?
 * Yes all the content mentioned is relevant to the topic. If anything the authors went beyond by explaining the international impact which was a very strong point.


 * Is the content up-to-date?
 * Yes the content is up to date.


 * Is there content that is missing or content that does not belong?
 * Yes, the article seems to be missing the story on Bill Cosby and everything related to his situation. Bill Cosby even ended up going on trial and receiving jail time, which is extremely significant to the movement.

Tone and Balance

 * Guiding questions


 * Is the article neutral?
 * Yes the article has a very neutral tone and only states the facts.


 * Are there any claims that appear heavily biased toward a particular position?
 * No the article is very neutral.


 * Are there viewpoints that are overrepresented, or underrepresented?
 * Yes, the authors could have gone more in-depth on the #HimToo section of the page. There is a lot of information on the me too movement and women involved with it. The Him Too section is underrepresented as I feel like we heard about some instances like Kevin Spacey. The section seems to only mention Kavanaugh.


 * Does the article attempt to persuade the reader in favor of one position or away from another?
 * No.

Sources and References

 * Guiding questions


 * Are all facts in the article backed up by a reliable secondary source of information?
 * Yes


 * Are the sources thorough - i.e. Do they reflect the available literature on the topic?
 * Yes


 * Are the sources current?
 * Yes most of the sources are current. The oldest source I found was 2003 which is feasible to the context presented.


 * Check a few links. Do they work?
 * Yes they do.

Organization

 * Guiding questions


 * Is the article well-written - i.e. Is it concise, clear, and easy to read?
 * Yes the article is very easy and concise to read.


 * Does the article have any grammatical or spelling errors?
 * No


 * Is the article well-organized - i.e. broken down into sections that reflect the major points of the topic?
 * Yes. There are many sections and all bolded.

Images and Media

 * Guiding questions


 * Does the article include images that enhance understanding of the topic?
 * I feel like the article lacked in including relevant pictures. They included a total of 4 pictures and only one of them I recognized. They didn't provide pictures of the main people involved with the movement like Harvey Weinstein and Tarana Burke.


 * Are images well-captioned?
 * Yes they have clear captions.


 * Do all images adhere to Wikipedia's copyright regulations?
 * Yes


 * Are the images laid out in a visually appealing way?

Checking the talk page

 * Guiding questions


 * What kinds of conversations, if any, are going on behind the scenes about how to represent this topic?
 * There is alot of conversation happening behind the scenes. 52 different contents.


 * How is the article rated? Is it a part of any WikiProjects?
 * The article is rated C-class and is part of 4 WikiProjects (Feminism, Internet Culture, Sexology and Sexuality, and United States).


 * How does the way Wikipedia discusses this topic differ from the way we've talked about it in class?
 * The Wikipedia touches on how this movement was interpreted around the world and the stories there. We only mention what has happened in the media and not how this movement has blown up internationally.

Overall impressions

 * Guiding questions


 * What is the article's overall status?
 * Status is c class which means it is still missing information.


 * What are the article's strengths?
 * The article's strengths are being organized and including information that is not just limited to the United States.


 * How can the article be improved?
 * The article lacks providing stories that were monumental in the movement like Bill Cosby and Aly Raisman. In addition, the article failed to mention specifics on social media's that were used for the movement. The Media section was very general.


 * How would you assess the article's completeness - i.e. Is the article well-developed? Is it underdeveloped or poorly developed?
 * I think the article upon first sight seems well-developed but after reading the material it seems to be underdeveloped as it is missing valuable information.
