Which article are you evaluating?
San Antonio Express-News

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
The Express-News is the daily newspaper for my city, and it's an organization I work with on a near-daily basis in my day job.

Evaluate the article
The lead section clearly and concisely describes the Express-News, but includes circulation information that is cited, but not referenced anywhere else in the article.

Overall, the History section covers the early history well, but is lacking in more recent information. The Current Business section lists updated senior staff, but the information is not cited. Additionally, there is a [citation needed] tag after a list of awards and accolades the paper received. The overall tone is neutral, and the article does not try to persuade the reader.

There are very few Sources and References, and one of the 5 links is broken. If the pieces of the article that are currently missing citations are properly cited, the references and sources section should be more comprehensive.

The article is well organized, concise, and easy to read. Only one image is included, a copy of the newspaper's front page from 2012.

The talk page is empty - there are no discussions. The article is a part of several WikiProjects: United States, Texas, San Antonio, and Journalism.

Overall, it's a good start to a complete article, but it does need "finished" with updated current information and additional sources. The history section is definitely the article's strongest point.
