Evaluate an article
This is where you will complete your article evaluation. Please use the template below to evaluate your selected article.


 * Name of article: Neo-charismatic movement Neo-charismatic movement
 * Briefly describe why you have chosen this article to evaluate. I am interested in improving this article for the class assignment.

Lead

 * Guiding questions


 * Does the Lead include an introductory sentence that concisely and clearly describes the article's topic? Yes
 * Does the Lead include a brief description of the article's major sections? Not really. The Lead could be expanded upon.
 * Does the Lead include information that is not present in the article? It makes reference to the growth of the movement, which is not elaborated upon later.
 * Is the Lead concise or is it overly detailed? It is concise but it also references many other movements/evangelical topics, and it contains many links to other wiki articles. I don't really know if that is a problem or if some detail should be added within the Lead about these connected topics and how they relate to the topic of this article.

Content

 * Guiding questions


 * Is the article's content relevant to the topic? Yes
 * Is the content up-to-date? No
 * Is there content that is missing or content that does not belong? This article is ranked as a "start" so the history section could be expanded upon, and more sections could be added. There is recent research on this movement, and this article is missing some of that new scholarship.

Tone and Balance

 * Guiding questions


 * Is the article neutral? It looks like it is now. A user deleted a criticism section that seemed biased and there is a discussion in the talk page about this.
 * Are there any claims that appear heavily biased toward a particular position? No
 * Are there viewpoints that are overrepresented, or underrepresented? No
 * Does the article attempt to persuade the reader in favor of one position or away from another? No

Sources and References

 * Guiding questions


 * Are all facts in the article backed up by a reliable secondary source of information? The section on spiritual warfare could use a source. A few sentences in the history section should be backed up with sources.
 * Are the sources thorough - i.e. Do they reflect the available literature on the topic? There is more literature that could be used to explain this topic.
 * Are the sources current? Many are fairly current.
 * Check a few links. Do they work? Yes

Organization

 * Guiding questions


 * Is the article well-written - i.e. Is it concise, clear, and easy to read? It is clear and concise
 * Does the article have any grammatical or spelling errors? No
 * Is the article well-organized - i.e. broken down into sections that reflect the major points of the topic? The organization of this article could use improvement

Images and Media

 * Guiding questions


 * Does the article include images that enhance understanding of the topic? No
 * Are images well-captioned? N/A
 * Do all images adhere to Wikipedia's copyright regulations? N/A
 * Are the images laid out in a visually appealing way? N/A

Checking the talk page

 * Guiding questions


 * What kinds of conversations, if any, are going on behind the scenes about how to represent this topic? Discussion of adding/deleting sections, bias within the article, and a lively discussion related to defining the topic's characteristics
 * How is the article rated? Is it a part of any WikiProjects? In general it is rated as a start or C class, with top importance. It is part of the religion, evangelical Christianity, and Christianity WikiProjects.
 * How does the way Wikipedia discusses this topic differ from the way we've talked about it in class? We talked about this topic in relation to capitalism not simply as a movement within evangelical Christianity

Overall impressions

 * Guiding questions


 * What is the article's overall status? It is a sufficient introduction, but it needs to be clarified and re-organized.
 * What are the article's strengths? It lists examples of churches that fit within the movement, which I think could help people understand what type of churches fall into the category of Neo-charismatic.
 * How can the article be improved? The history should be explained more in depth. More sections could be added possibly.
 * How would you assess the article's completeness - i.e. Is the article well-developed? Is it underdeveloped or poorly developed? This article is underdeveloped.

Optional activity
