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:
 * Your Name
 * Briefly describe why you have chosen this article to evaluate.
 * I decided to evaluate the article of the Japanese animated movie "Kimi no Na wa." because it's one of my favorite animated movies. The story is very well written and the animation is beautiful and detailed.

Lead

 * Guiding questions


 * Does the Lead include an introductory sentence that concisely and clearly describes the article's topic?
 * Does the Lead include a brief description of the article's major sections?
 * Does the Lead include information that is not present in the article?
 * Is the Lead concise or is it overly detailed?

Lead evaluation
First of all, I think that the name of the article should have the original japanese name which is "Kimi no Na Wa" and then, put the english translation which is "Your Name." The lead of the article is short; however, it's detailed, precise and easy to understand. In addition, the lead includes the most important facts about the article's major sections.

Content

 * Guiding questions


 * Is the article's content relevant to the topic?
 * Is the content up-to-date?
 * Is there content that is missing or content that does not belong?
 * Does the article deal with one of Wikipedia's equity gaps? Does it address topics related to historically underrepresented populations or topics?

Content evaluation
While I was reading the content of the article, there were some sections that needs improvement and more information. To be honest, I didn't like the "plot" section because it literally spoils the whole movie. I think they should put a "spoiler warning" at the beginning of that section, to prevent the readers who haven't watch the movie and wants to read the article first. Or, they could summarize the plot of the story in a way that it doesn't spoil the movie. Other than that, the content of the article is related to the topic and it's up to date; the most recent one was on Saturday, September 19 of this year.

Tone and Balance

 * Guiding questions


 * Is the article neutral?
 * Are there any claims that appear heavily biased toward a particular position?
 * Are there viewpoints that are overrepresented, or underrepresented?
 * Does the article attempt to persuade the reader in favor of one position or away from another?

Tone and balance evaluation
The article is in fact, neutral and it doesn't attempt the reader to favor a position. The content of the article is based of facts and information, not of opinions.

Sources and References

 * Guiding questions


 * Are all facts in the article backed up by a reliable secondary source of information?
 * Are the sources thorough - i.e. Do they reflect the available literature on the topic?
 * Are the sources current?
 * Are the sources written by a diverse spectrum of authors? Do they include historically marginalized individuals where possible?
 * Check a few links. Do they work?

Sources and references evaluation
I clicked on a few links to check the content and some of them were reliable, others don't. Some of the information were gathered from important and official sites such as "Funimation" and "Anime News Network". Other information I clicked were from blogs which were not reliable. I didn't check all the links; however, the ones that I did clicked worked very well. Most of this sources are from 2016-2018, so I think it needs more current sources of information, knowing the fact that this movie would be adapted on a Live Action, so we fans of the story wants to stay updated about news.

Organization

 * Guiding questions


 * Is the article well-written - i.e. Is it concise, clear, and easy to read?
 * Does the article have any grammatical or spelling errors?
 * Is the article well-organized - i.e. broken down into sections that reflect the major points of the topic?

Organization evaluation
The article is easy to read, is clear and well- organized. I read the article and didn't notice a spelling or gramatical error.

Images and Media

 * Guiding questions


 * Does the article include images that enhance understanding of the topic?
 * Are images well-captioned?
 * Do all images adhere to Wikipedia's copyright regulations?
 * Are the images laid out in a visually appealing way?

Images and media evaluation
This article should have more pictures about the movie or the characters. It only includes one picture about the movie; the rest of them are related to the topic. I think that If the article had more images, it would be more atractive. The images that are in this article adhere to Wikipedia's copyright regulations.

Checking the talk page

 * Guiding questions


 * What kinds of conversations, if any, are going on behind the scenes about how to represent this topic?
 * How is the article rated? Is it a part of any WikiProjects?
 * How does the way Wikipedia discusses this topic differ from the way we've talked about it in class?

Talk page evaluation
I did check the talk page and they were discussing about the changes of the article's title and gramatical errors. In addition, they were having a rough discussion about the sources of information that weren't reliable. The talk page should be a respectful space of discussion between wikipedians. However, while I was reading the discussion about the sources, I felt uncomfortable. This article is rated a "C-class" so it needs improvements and it's part of the "Anime and Manga" WikiProjects.

Overall impressions

 * Guiding questions


 * What is the article's overall status?
 * What are the article's strengths?
 * How can the article be improved?
 * How would you assess the article's completeness - i.e. Is the article well-developed? Is it underdeveloped or poorly developed?

Overall evaluation
To conclude, the article needs to improve. It needs more reliable information from official sites, the article's name should change, the plot needs to be summarized and it needs more images. I liked the lead at the beginning of the article and the content has good facts and information. For sure, this article is underdeveloped; It's not bad, but not good either.
