Which article are you evaluating?
English studies

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article because we were supposed to pick one relating to our digital writing course but I did not see one listed under writing so I went with the next best option in a similar field which was English studies. I am also a literary and textual studies major so it makes sense for me to evaluate this page.

Evaluate the article
The lead section is neatly laid out with the first sentence detailing what is and is not considered English studies and then goes into further detail about more specific areas of study and disciplines. I feel like there is some bias from the author involved in the English Major section or something along those lines when it claims that "help-wanted postings rarely solicit English majors specifically." The fields sections is a little sparse and only includes links to other articles in a list form, this could be edited to actually include some writing rather than just list topics. Throughout the history section there should be more citations interspersed as the writer seems to be making claims without the proper support. The High school section is also lacking in information. There are a lot of examples of what disciplines are studied in English studies yet little explanation about them, the entire article is lacking balance between sections, there could be more sources involved. Everyone on the talk page seems to agree that this article needs a lot of work and revision to be able to be considered a good article specifically in looking at the tone, adding more sources, and covering more areas.
