Reviewing: Bloodchild and Other Stories

Lead evaluation
The Lead has been updated with the addition of the word "writer" to clarify that it was Octavia E. Butler who wrote that collection of short stories and essays. Overall, the Lead describes the article's topic concisely and gives readers an idea of what to expect later in the article. The Lead is not misleading as the article touches on every short story and essay contained in this collection. It even includes sections about the two new stories that were added ten years after its original date of publication. I believe the Lead offers just enough information as the contents of the collection are fleshed out later in the article as it should be.

Content evaluation
The content added does help improve the article though more should be added to further the content present about "Bloodchild." Elaborating more on the themes section would be a good place to start.

Tone and balance evaluation
It is important to remember when adding quotes to use the word "said" rather than anything else because that is the most neutral word to use in this instance. Sentences that were already present like "Critic Jane Donawerth observes that..." and "Kristen Lillivis further argues that..." should be edited to fit this guideline.

Sources and references evaluation
Though no new sources were added yet, sources should be added to back up the information about the awards that the short story has won. In the article, there are a variety of sources so none are heavily relied on which is good.

Organization evaluation
I believe one of the biggest strengths of this article is its organization. The sections are consistent and easy to navigate so there is not much that needs to be fixed. It is just something to be aware of when adding new information so the article remains consistent.

Overall evaluation
As this is already a relatively well-developed article there are things it does well, but as time continues, there are still many things that can be added and fixed to help improve its quality. I would suggest furthering the discussion about the themes present in the story and possibly including another quote that gives those unfamiliar with the story an idea of the haunting nature behind the human and Tlic relationship.
