Which article are you evaluating?
Sean Paul

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I have chosen this article because I was looking at the wiki c-class articles and saw the section for "Reggae." It peaked my interest as I grew up listening to Dancehall and Reggae. I also listen to it to his day and one of my favorite artist in the genre is Sean Paul. It matters, specifically to me, because he had an impact on who I was today because of his music and those influences can still be seen in some of my mannerisms. My preliminary impression was that the article is written well and follows the proper etiquette of wikipedia.

Evaluate the article
Lead Section

The lead section gives a good introduction into the topics for the rest of the article. The description of the articles major parts allow the reader to jump from section to section both in order of album releases, but also in order of ages. It gives the proper amount of information without topics given without a section.

Content

The body of the page gives equal footing to all parts of the wiki. The information is concise and easy to manage. All information is up to date and is still being updated as the subject of the wikipage is still alive. Things that are not 100% are given "TBA" dates which allow to the reader to understand its non-finalized form. There is missing content in the "Dutty Rock" section which has been flagged for lack of sources.

Tone and Balance

The page is told from a neutral point of view, without taking any sides or giving opinions. There are no claims, hence there is no bias towards any particular positions. I think all the viewpoints and topics are very balanced and give equal information to all parts.

Sources and References

Checking a few of the sources, a lot of them are current and the links still work to allow for checking. Many of the sources are articles written about either Sean Paul or reggae in general, not giving a large bias in one direction. There are more recent sources as the artist is still alive and producing music. I do not think there would be anymore reliable sources because of the type of article that it is.

Organization and Writing Quality

The article is well written, easy to read, and free of errors under close inspection. It is broken down well, allowing the reader to follow along Sean Paul's life through his music.

Images and Media

The article has a few images detailing moments in Paul's life. They are labeled well and placed in strategic positions. There could be different images used, which could include album covers if they are not copywritten, which I don't think they are since each link in the section takes you to the album and provides an image of the cover.

Talk and Overall Impressions

There isn't much talk over the page, seeing as it is a C-class and isn't of great importance. It would gain more popularity around another song/album release so it is worth maintenance. The article is overall a good article, giving the reader a look into the life of Sean Paul. Without including opinions, etc. the article allows for a quick education on the impact and music that has been released by Paul. I think there are still parts that can be added into the article, including more information about each album and also more on Paul's life in general, outside of music.
