Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article to find something to write about for class. Reading through this short Wikipedia article about William Birenbaum's academic achievements is extremely interesting.

Lead Section
The leading article introduces us to William Birenbaum's role in education fairly well, but nothing else. They also mention National Student Association, but don't explain how William directly contributed to the NSA.

Content
The article has an up-to-date brief history of William Birenbaum but doesn't elaborate further to highlight the different parts of William Birenbaum's academic career and leaves some parts without explaining why things happened, I found that when the editor of this Wikipedia page mentioned that William Birenbaum was appointed "dean of the New School for Social Research" but everything else was explained enough to have a sufficient understanding of William Birenbaum.

Tone and Balance
The tone in this article was neutral explaining the reasoning behind William Birenbaum's actions and his opponent, R. Gordon Hoxie, reasoning behind their actions additionally the viewpoints of both Hoxie and William were represented well in this section.

Sources and References
The sources and references in this article were relevant to the article and were evident throughout the different parts of the article. The reference section included all of the links to all the relevant sources to support the main idea of the Wikipedia article.

Image and Media
There was only one image in this short article that only helped support a small part of the article but it was captioned well, placed where it wouldn't be distracting for the reader, and complied with Wikipedia copyright regulations.

Talk Page Discussion
This article was rated "Low-importance" in 4 of the 6 categories (all the "Low-importance" were related to different countries and states) that were related to the article. There wasn't anything going on the talk page so there wasn't much information provided besides the article itself.

Overall Impression
This article was interesting and had various amounts of information that helped the overall understanding of William Birenbaum but, it had issues with leaving parts of the article unexplained and was confusing in some parts. To improve the article's completeness it should have more information regarding the life of William Birenbaum.
