Antigua and Barbuda

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 the article about Antigua and Barbuda, because I have visited Antigua before. This article is important, because it is an island that many people have visited on vacation like me, but is also an island with a lot of history, and where people live. My preliminary impression of the article is that it is full of information, and would give someone a decent understanding about many aspects of Antigua and Barbuda.

Evaluate the article
(Compose a detailed evaluation of the article here, considering each of the key aspects listed above. Consider the guiding questions, and check out the examples of what a useful Wikipedia article evaluation looks like.)

Lead section: The article begins with a nice overview of Antigua and Barbuda. The topic of the article is known right away, and is relatively brief. The introductory sentence is good, and describes what the article is going to be about. There is no outline of the different sections in the article. The lead is concise, but also contains the information it should.

Content: All of the content within the article is very relevant to the topic. The information is all up to date to my knowledge. All of the content belongs, and there is little content missing for someone who is curious about all aspects of the islands. This article does not deal with Wikipedia's equity gap.

Tone and Balance: The article is very neutral, it is all facts, and opinions within the article are very limited. None of the claims are biased, and no viewpoints are over or under represented. No persuasion techniques are used within this article, rather this article is an informative article. \

Sources and references: All of the facts within this article are backed up with sources, and many with secondary sources. All of the sources are pretty current, the oldest is from 1995. Many of the sources are thorough, and contain a lot of information, hence why this article is so full of information. The sources are written by varied authors and contain information from all over. I tried out several of the links, and they all work.

Organization and writing quality: The article is pretty well written for the format that it is in. The article is very easy to read. While there are a few very very minor grammar mistakes, it does not distract from the main point. The sections that the article is broken into work very well for an easy read and easy to quickly find information.

Images and media: The images used help better the understanding of topics to the reader, for example there is an image of a map which helps the reader better understand where the islands are located. The images have captions that tell you what you are looking at. Yes, all images follow the copyright regulations. The images are not laid out in the prettiest fashion, but there is not much other room where the pictures could be placed.

Talk page discussion: There are not many conversations going on in the talk page, many of the edits are just little errors being fixed. This article is part of 5 wikiprojects. I was unable to findthe rating of the page.

Overall impressions: Overall, this article is written very well and is set up in a good way for readers to find the information they want to know. The article contains a lot of information, and pretty much gives everything you would want to know but in a concise manner. The article could work a bit on appealing to humans, because some of the images are placed in odd places, and the bold text in random places too.
