Evaluate the article
I am evaluating the Wikipedia article on intercultural Dialogue. The lead section of the article has a clear definition of the topic that is expanded upon as you continue to read it. It breaks down the two words in the term to give a better understanding of the concept. However, it does not include a description of the major sections of the article. That information is only displayed in the table of contents box. Otherwise, you would have to scan the whole article to view the major headings. The lead gives a good overview of the topic without divulging the details to follow in the major sections.

The content of the article provides clear information on the concept of intercultural dialogue. It also introduces related concepts such as intercultural communication and interfaith dialogue. This is helpful to researchers who may be looking for related concepts to review. Upon looking at the sources, the information in the article includes information as recent as 2020 and most of the other information is from the last 10 years. However, the information could include examples of intercultural dialogue to give readers a better understanding of the concept rather than just state the definition and when its used.

The tone of the article is neutral and features no bias views. The article is solely written in third person and includes no stereotypes which could come up when discussing topics related to cultures. The article doesn’t over or under explain any viewpoints on the topic.

The article does include academic sources along with organizational website. An issue I did find is that some of the sources have links that result in a 404 error. This makes is difficult to determine if the information is peer-reviewed or not.

The article is organized fairly well. None of the topics have information that should be placed under another. I did find that the article did get a bit overwhelming  when explaining the description of the article. Some of the long sentences should be shortened or split into two  to make the information easier to digest. There are no grammatical error found in the article.

There are not images or any other forms of media present in the article.

There are no current discussions available on the articles talk page. It is currently rated as a C class article and has a low level of importance on the project page. This topic relates to our conversations about cultural diversity in organizations. It gave me a better understanding of the interactions between culturally diverse members in societies.

In conclusion, the article is fairly well written and provided good information on the topic. it gives a great definition of the concept and provides other related concepts that can expand research. The article can be improved by providing examples of instances when intercultural dialogue has been used. Other than adding relevant examples, I believe that the article for the most part is written well.
