An informative article about the city of Turlock. The lead section is straight to the point, anyone can identify what the topic is about. It's a bit short compared to others. The content is well detailed including information about its history, geography, demographics, economy, sports, education, government, media and infrastructure. The information is well organized by being broken down into sections. Only two sections don't cite any sources which are Economy and Notable people. The content is not really up to date, it has statistics based off 2020. The tone and balance are neutral. The article does not try to persuade the reader. Most of the article is based off its historical information that uses reliable sources. Its concise and easy to read through. Images are included but I don't think they help enhance understanding. For example, they have a picture of the California State University of Stanislaus, and I don't think it's the best picture. I didn't even recognize the school or that it even was one. Based off the Talk page some discussions were about more images being added, about the actual size of the city and to add more information on some sections. The article is rated as a Start-Class on content assessment and low-importance on projects importance. Overall, the articles status can be stated as still in process to be improved. Based on what I evaluated and the other discussions I have seen is that it needs more images such as seen with their college image used. Also add cited sources for the sections that are missing them. The articles strength is that it includes helpful information about its history and uses charts to provide statistics. The article can be identified as underdeveloped.
