 * Name of article: (link) Queen Rania of Jordan
 * Briefly describe why you have chosen this article to evaluate. I have chosen this article because it is of interest to me since the Queen of Jordan is an important figure recognized across the world. It is very important that she is well represented especially since the Arabic version of the article contains more detailed information.

 * Does the Lead include an introductory sentence that concisely and clearly describes the article's topic? Yes it does include a sentence about who Queen Rania is.
 * Does the Lead include a brief description of the article's major sections? It almost covers all sections, but it is very brief, consisting of a few lines only.
 * Does the Lead include information that is not present in the article? Only the part where it says that she advocated for health, there is nothing regarding that in the article.

Tone and Balance

 * Guiding questions


 * Is the article neutral? The article only discusses the Queen's accomplishments and work, but it does not discuss how a lot of Jordanians view her. This is an issue discussed in the talk page. But that is also because she is a queen and she should be portrayed in a positive light.
 * Are there any claims that appear heavily biased toward a particular position? No there aren't.
 * Are there viewpoints that are overrepresented, or underrepresented? Yes, her early life seems to be underrepresented with some gaps in the information that make it unclear. There is also some underrepresentation in the part that talks about how she improved certain sectors in Jordan like education and youth, many details are missing and there is no reference to certain information like the children's museum she built.
