Which article are you evaluating?
Talk:5K run - Wikipedia

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article because I used to run 5k races competitively. I chose it out of personal interest and because of the imagery provided as well. My initial impression was somewhat disappointed because it simply only explained what the race is. It was cool to see the world's fastest times though.

Evaluate the article
The lead section does identify the topic of the article itself. It is clear and precise with letting the reader know what they are about to read about. The article and its content is up to date as a recent edit existed in April of this year. The information in the article is relevant and not over detailed. It relates to all time periods and ethnic populations that have participated in these races. In terms of citing and referencing, the article does a great job at this. Citations are thorough and very direct. Very credible. The sources are also very accessible. The organizational aspect could be better. It doesn't really have a format but it still can be followed. The grammar and spelling portion is very well done as there is no errors. The imagery that this article includes is what drew me into evaluating it. The imagery is very appealing, well captioned, and overall a good addition. When looking at the talk page, there is not much activity. The little conversation that did occur, it was general and relevant to the topic that usually consisted of a simple question and a simple answer. Overall, this article was professional. They could potentially include more detail on how hard the race is on your body and possibly add things that draw the reader in more. Good article though.
