Evaluate the article
This article has a strong lead section. It begins with a strong lead sentence introducing a brief introduction to who Lebron James is. It also gives an introduction to his career dating back to even high school, and also talks in depth of his role outside of sports. All of the information in the lead is present in the article and supported later on. The lead has more length, but it is still precise. It gives broad overview facts about Lebron James, but doesn’t too far in. The content within the article is extraordinary. All information stays relevant to the topic of the article, it is very up to date with changes and updates often to keep the article current, and it also talks about Lebron James’ life outside of basketball which is something that tends to not be talked about for most athletes. The article has a neutral point of view. When giving claims that may be opinionated it always said it is debatable, or often talked about. For example the article said he is often compared to Michael Jordan and debated on being the greatest basketball player ever. It is well balanced and isn’t trying to persuade anyone to believe a certain thing about Lebron James. The article just gives facts of his career and accomplishments. This article in specific does a fantastic job at using trustworthy sources. Any fact given has a reliable source behind it that is supported by secondary sources. These sources are also up to date and reflect current positions. The links also work, and are the best sources that can be used on the topic. The article has a very professional writing style. It is clear and easy to read. There is no grammatical or spelling errors within it, and it is well organized into different topics.

They are all laid out in a very appealing way. The article also has a very well-atmosphered talk page. The community behind the article seems very unified and respectful to one another. This article is a wiki-education foundation supported course assignment and is one of the top viewed articles for many years. This talk page is a little different because it’s focused on just making changes to the Lebron James article, not discussion on the general subject. The articles overall status is very impressive, and one of the best wiki articles you can find. It has strengths across the board in every category and doesn’t have any weaknesses. As long as the article stays up to date and keeps updating changing stats it will stay relevant and a great read.
