Which article are you evaluating?
Thích Nhât Hanh

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
After reading multiple books written by Thich Nhat Hanh such as, Peace is Every Step: The Path of Mindfulness in Everyday Life, along with Anger: Wisdom for Cooling the Flames, I was quite interested in his biography as understanding his life and motives are rather important.

Evaluate the article
After conducting a brief evaluation on this article titled "Thích Nhât Hanh" I have concluded that this information provided is up to date, preceded with an extensive list of references. Although I have concluded that some articles referenced are moderately biased, there are plenty of references that seemingly come from a reliable source. As for the layout and content of this Wikipage, it is well written with a common layout that most biographies have which start with an "early life" section while ending with "death". The content is also detailed and includes a multitude of internal Wikilinks to further support the given information. While many biographies fail to grasp the purpose of the individual, there are many direct quotes that prove to be informational and fit the narrative in which Thich Nhat Hanh was a honest and an educated monk. To my knowledge, all referenced main external links are fully functional except the following: (The following external links result in a "404 error not found" or access denied indicating the webpage has been removed from the databases server. The "archived" external link for the following are accessible.)

Ben, Stocking (22 September 2006). "Tensions rise as police question monk's followers"

"Nomination Process"

Knibbe, Guido (2020). "Meeting Life in Plum Village – Engaging With Precarity and Progress in a Meditation Center"

Duerr, Maia (26 March 2010). "An Introduction to Engaged Buddhism".

Many users have also left suggestions and edits that has contributed to the version history, making it an unbiased Wikipage with purely factual evidence. I would suggest an edit be to made to remove the external links from the Wikipage or be replaced with a existing & functional website.

I would also like to make a note, that many key terms do not have a internal Wikipage link, although there is an existing Wikipage dedicated to such key terms.
