Which article are you evaluating?
Fearless Girl

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
(Briefly explain why you chose it, why it matters, and what your preliminary impression of it was.)

I chose it because I think it is an interesting work of public art and I got to see it in person!

It matters because it tries to send a message about workplace gender diversity and is now a permanent part of New York art.

My first impression was that the article did a good job of explaining the history and significance of the Fearless Girl.

The article's lead section could be a little bit more concise. In addition the sentence, "A plaque originally placed below the statue stated: "Know the power of women in leadership. SHE makes a difference," with "SHE" being both a descriptive pronoun and the fund's NASDAQ ticker symbol" is repeated a few lines later in the description section.

The content is mostly on topic, but some of the related instances do not have a clear connection to the fearless girl. The sentence referring to the peeing pup should either be deleted or have a supporting sentence explaining its relevance.

A lot of varying opposing viewpoints are explained, but very few supporting ones are explained. We know that there is support based on the petition to keep the statue, but it is not very well explained.

A lot of the sources used are news articles, which can be problematic. Since the article does not seem very biased or incorrect, those sources were probably fine, but a few more reliable sources would be a good addition.

I think a few more pictures could help improve the article, maybe one in each of the locations it has been in.

Overall, the article is well written, informative, and unbiased. Areas of improvement could be resolving repetition and drawing connections between seemingly irrelevant pieces of information.
