Azal (Bible)

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose to evaluate the article about Azal because it seems to be very interesting. I find archaeology to be a fascinating topic, so I wanted to dig deeper into the details presented within this article. This article is applicable to the 21st century, as it draws on the knowledge from ancient times, it is necessary for society to learn how to get a greater understanding of the world that existed before our day. Before I read the article, I believed Azal was either a person or location mentioned in the bible, and given that is was supposedly a town near Jerusalem, I wasn't far off.

Evaluate the article
The article regarding Azal could definitely benefit from some editing and more key information. The article does not include a variety of information, it only touches upon the supposed location of the city, Azal. If the article contained a picture or two I believe the page would feel more reliable and believable. The article is clearly written out without any grammatical errors which is beneficial for any readers. The article lacks any recent information on the town, including modern data on Azal which would assist the article greatly. The content presented is interesting I just wish there was more of it, the article is very short compared to other pages posted on Wikipedia. The talk page discussion offers many improvements for the article such as new title (which has been changed), including secondary sources on certain pieces of information to secure the information's reliability, and improvement on certain sentences. The articles strengths are that it is based on a interesting topic (in my opinion), it also provides some interesting facts about the town. The improvements that could be made on this article is including more facts about the town, its discovery, and including some visuals for the audience. I would say the article is a bit underdeveloped and needs some more information included for the article to feel complete.
