The first thing I noticed when evaluating this article is, there is a banner that warns you that the content is written more like an advertisement. I did notice however, that like Wikipedia said to do in the trainings, there are many references throughout the text. Although, there are many citations, I checked the links randomly on 8 and 3 and was denied access to them. The author does include an image that helps the reader get a better idea on what The Loft Literary Center looks like, which is also greatly captioned. The article does not have any talk pages conversations. The article is organized into several different sections that help guide the reader as they are going through the article. The article tone is not as neutral as Wikipedia likes it to be, creating more of an advertisement, rather then an informational piece. The content is nothing profound, but covers most of the information needed to learn about The Loft Literary Center. I believe the lead section gives a good introduction on the information that follows. Although, it is leaning more towards the wording of an advertisement. There could be many improvements to this article including more citations that give reference to links that work. There could also be a different more neutral tone that could be used, to get away from the feel of an advertisement.
