This article peaked my interest and I love dogs (espescially this breed).

Evaluate the article
Lead Section:

- The lead sentence was clear and concise on what this wiki page was about.

- The article's last sentence of the introduction paragraph does tell us what is expected within the next few paragraphs of the wiki page.

- The lead section does not introduce new information yet, so it is good with being short and concise.

Content:

- The articles content is related to the topic. They talk the apperances of the shiba, behavior, origin, and etc.

- For the most part the content is up to date. The latest information added was a citation of an article from 2020 which was only 3 years ago.

- The only content I see that does not belong is the "in popular culture" section. They talk about crypto currency and the popular dogecoin, name after the shiba inu. I felt this was out of place because the wiki page should only be talking about the dog breed and nothing else name related wise.

Tone and Balance

- The article is neutral, mainly information about behaviors and apperances of the dog breed. There are no biases involved when everything has been informative.

Sources and References

- All facts in the article are backed up by a reliable secondary source. After almost every written line, there were citations and articles backing up where the writers got there information from.

- The sources are thorough and focus specifically on the Shiba Inu. The earliest of sources being in 2017 with the latest being 2020.

- I believe more recent information could be added since I did search up shiba inu articles and there has been recent ones from 2022, so some new added details from shibas can be added to this wiki page.

- There is a diverse group of authors from each of the articles cited. Theyve either owned the breed or studied/raised one so theyve had experience and scientific background.

- The few links that I checked have all worked so far.

Organization and writing quality

- The article is well written and clear, with all information simplified and easy to understand.

- The article does have some grammer errors.

- Each section was broken down and none of the paragraphs overlapped information, all information was related back to the topic of behavior, apperance, and etc

Images and Media:

- The article does include images to see what the dog breed looks like.

- The images are well captured and are relevant to the topic. They portrayed the different shiba inu colors avaliable and even the past skull of a shiba inu.

- The top 5 pictures dont look visually appealing and it feels like someone made a collage and threw it all in there for the sake of putting up pictures.
