Ash vs Evil Dead

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
It's a series that I have seen so I can verify the accuracy of the information pretty well from memory. While it starts off not directly post-apocalyptic, there is an overarching threat of an eventual apocalypse throughout most of the series, and the final episode of season 3 ends with the apocalypse actually happening, setting up a post-apocalyptic season 4 that never wound up happening due to cancellation. This makes it somewhat relevant to the class. It's also a reasonably important article in the television world as this was a television show on a major television network featuring well known stars, and it is part of an important established horror franchise that has a major influence on the genre as a whole. My first impressions of the article are that it's pretty decent. It hits all of the essential details that an article on this should have, but I'm sure it could be much more in depth and detailed upon further editing.

Evaluate the article
Lead Section


 * The introductory sentence does a good job introducing what the show is, but the filmed in New Zealand detail seems odd in the very first line. It's an important detail but it's not the most important thing about the show nor the first thing someone would want or need to know.
 * It more or less covers the basic points of information that the other sections expand upon.
 * It does not include any information not found elsewhere in the article.
 * It's very concise. Possibly too concise, but not terribly so. It's solid.

Content


 * The content is all relevant.
 * It's mostly up to date. There's more that could be added in the cancellation section about how the franchise is moving forward with an unrelated movie, and about Campbell's multiple contradictory statements regarding his potential reprisal of the role (including the upcoming videogame in which he is returning as Ash.)
 * No content that doesn't belong, and nothing major is missing. Though more details could certainly be added. The production especially. This is a complex show filmed over multiple years with noteworthy practical effects usage, and more information on how the show was made is likely available somewhere but isn't found in the article.

Tone and Balance


 * The article is written from a neutral point of view.
 * There are no biased claims.
 * No viewpoints seem to be over or underrepresented.
 * There are no mentions of minority or fringe viewpoints
 * It is unbiased with no attempt at persuasion

Sources and References


 * All the facts do in fact have reliable sources
 * Sources seem very thorough. There is likely still additional material on the show, but this covers a very large variety of sources
 * Sources seem to be as current as is available for this show.
 * I cannot find any better sources than the ones used here.
 * I checked several links and they all worked. A few needed to use the archived feature but they appeared.

Organization and Writing Quality


 * The article is well written throughout. Concise in the right places and never difficult to read.
 * I noticed no grammatical or spelling errors.
 * It is broken down into all of the appropriate major sections.

Images and Media


 * This article has no images, aside from the show's logo. This is the biggest area for possible improvement.
 * Adding images that aren't directly copywritten might be difficult, and is likely why there are none, but there are definitely options out there for possible images and it would be nice if they could be added.

Talk Page


 * There are only a few conversations on the talk page, but they seem to have been resolved appropriately. The biggest concerns were over whether this technically counts as a sequel to Army of Darkness since the creators don't own that movie's rights (it does indeed count, as they resolved) and whether including the surprisingly high rotten tomatoes score is reflective of the quality of the show (they resolved that it is because it's the factual numbers from that review aggregate site.)
 * It's rated C-class by both the Animation and Horror projects, and B-class by the comedy project.

Overall Impressions


 * It's pretty solid overall. There isn't anything wrong with it or anything that needs to be "fixed" and it provides a very solid overview of the show that would be more than serviceable to anyone who wasn't familiar with it before.
 * It's biggest strength is the concise but accurate and helpful plot descriptions, and the comprehensive list of accolades.
 * The biggest potential areas of improvement are the production and cancellation segments as there is more information that could be added regarding the details of production and the ways the franchise is continuing after the show's cancellation
 * This article is mostly complete. More additions could be made, but it's likely low priority and in its current form it's a pretty thorough overview.
