Which article are you evaluating?
Wally Pipp

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article after looking through the Baseball WikiProject as baseball interests me. As I know next to nothing about Anthropology and Anthropologists, I figured it was best to pick something I knew a bit more about.

Evaluate the article
Overall, I believe this is a good article. It is filled with information about former Yankees first baseman Wally Pipp and everything is relevant to Pipp's life and career. The tone is neutral and the article takes care to mention the numerous legends, rumors, and explanations given over the years for why Lou Gehrig replaced Pipp as the Yankees starting first baseman. Most of the links work, but a few are broken. Many of the links go to the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine, so they are fairly stable links. The sources are for the most part neutral and are from trusted resources on baseball. Many of the sources are Internet sources, not too many are books or other forms of publication, but there are many different internet sources represented. Not much has occurred on the talk page. Only a few subjects are present, mainly detailing minor squabbles with article (such as: is this picture from 1916 or 1917). The article is considered a "Good Article" and is part of the Baseball WikiProject, and is also part of the Biography: Sports and Games, Illinois, Chicago, and Michigan WikiProjects. We have not talked about Wally Pipp in class, but having done history work, it does not seek to analyze Pipp's life or role in the Yankees, but is more a statement of facts about Pipp's life and career.
