Article evaluation

Baroque_instruments The information is relevant to the topic, however it appears to be mostly just a list of the instruments found in an orchestra from the period. The brief descriptions of the instruments are linked more with how a particular composer used them. Overall the article is neutral, but does lean to really only one composer for the examples of the use of each instrument. There is a lot of under-representation of the instruments themselves. It could give what they looked like, when they first came into use, or what materials they were made of. There are no citations for this article. It is part of Wikiproject. The conversations on this article are few. It seems to be an article that was started and not completed. It does have a long list of edits, just the information detailing instruments or groups of instruments is vague. The overall impression of the information in the article is what the instrument was used for in relation to the composers texture for the piece. The information in the textbook for this course didn't really go into too much detail about each instrument. The general overview on what they sound like seemed to be the focus.

[] The article is clear in what it what trying to explain about the form of dance. It was cited by wikipedia as needing more citations added in to the article. I felt I could help with this and maybe add in some information. The research has been limited and contradicting.

The article on Baroque instruments was another option. It would require history research, something that would have interested me. The amount of time needed to contribute to all of the instruments seemed to be to overwhelming. Also, it is hard to understand what the intention was with the creation of this article. It is apparent that a list of instruments during this time period is relevant. The intention beyond that is not understood though. The article I would like to contribute to is en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lute_song. This is another article that needed help with inline citation. After going over the article and researching further in academic databases, it is evident that I can contribute to the article. There are some areas that could use some further context and descriptions.
