 * Digimon Rumble Arena: Digimon Rumble Arena
 * I chose to evaluate this article because it is a very simple and short wikipedia article about a game that I used to play as a kid. In essence, it is considered a "stub" page in which contributors can still add a lot of information to it, making it a suitable first page when I am learning how to edit wikipedia pages. The one downside to contributing to this topic is that it has a low importance rating, which means that not a lot of people view it. Ideally, you would want to edit something with a high importance. However, for the sake of learning, I am choosing to bypass this qualification.

Lead

 * Guiding questions


 * The lead of the article states the purpose of the wikipedia page very clearly without using any ambiguous words that suggests that the page may be badly sourced.
 * The lead does include a brief reference to a main section in the wikipedia article. In this case, it is the specific mention that there are 24 characters in the game that players can choose form.
 * The only information in the lead section that is not covered in the body section of the wikipedia page is the statement that a newer version of the game was released in subsequent years.
 * The lead of the page is extremely concise and descriptive.

Content

 * Guiding questions


 * The article's content are all useful to the topic at hand.
 * The content seems to be up to date. After looking in the "view history" section of wikipedia, the most recent edits were mostly made in this year and last year.
 * I believe that all the contents in the article belong there. As for missing information, there is always more information that can be added to stub articles like these.
 * The article does not deal with wikipedia's equity. It also does not address topics related to historically underrepresented populations or topics.

Tone and Balance

 * Guiding questions


 * The article is very neutral.
 * There seems to not be any biased claims.
 * No viewpoints are over or underrepresented as there are only factual statements.
 * There is no attempt to persuade the reader in a certain way.

Sources and References

 * Guiding questions


 * Not all the facts are backed up by reliable sources since one of the sources seem to be from another wikipedia article.
 * The sources don't seem as detailed as they can be.
 * The sources are not current as they pull information that is from 2010 and 2002.
 * The sources are written by a diverse spectrum of authors. They do no include historically marginalized individuals where possible.
 * All the links work.

Organization

 * Guiding questions


 * The article is well written and very legible.
 * All the grammar and spelling seems to be on point.
 * The article is well organized.

Images and Media

 * Guiding questions


 * There are images that support the text very well.
 * All images are well captioned.
 * All images adhere to Wikipedia's regulation. Although one of the images say that it is not license free, it seems that the game's developer enabled wikipedia to exclusively use the image.
 * These images are appealing for the reason that they are an accurate depiction of the game's graphics and virtual environment.

Checking the talk page

 * Guiding questions


 * There is not much conversation going on in the talk page except for a person who was complaining about not knowing a feature in the game that would help him or her unlock secret powers.
 * For some reason, the article is rated as an S grade article. Yes, this article is part of WikiProject Video Games. It is also part of WikiProject Anime and manga.
 * How does the way Wikipedia discusses this topic differ from the way we've talked about it in class? We haven't had a lot of chances to talk in depth about wikipedia in class yet.

Overall impressions

 * Guiding questions


 * The article surprisingly earned an S grade. The article is not controversial, good, or featured.
 * The article's strengths lies in the densely packed and accurate information.
 * How can the article be improved by simply adding more information about the game. Specifically, I would like to add more information about the plot of the game as well as the number of people who play it worldwide. Another thing to add may also be the in-game features.
 * In terms of personal opinion, I think that the contents that are currently in the webpage is a great starting point for giving a brief overview of the game.
