Quan Barry - Wikipedia

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
This was honestly the first thing that I could think of, and it looks pretty sparse and can clearly use some work

Evaluate the article
Quite of few statements are missing citations, like the author's birthplace, education, and prizes she's won.

There's very little information, and all of the sentences are simple and don't flow together. There aren't really topic sentences because there are no paragraphs or themes/topics that aren't summed up in one sentence.

The content is relevant and covers the basics, but it is very minimal, so the sources aren't very varied. In fact, there is basically only one main source for the author's background. Some of the sources seem to be "proof/evidence" rather than a secondary source talking about the author, like when the article says that her works have been featured in a specific newspaper and then using the specific paper where her work appears as the source which would make it a primary source.

The tone is very neutral. It is mostly a list of the author's works and education but doesn't really talk about their accomplishments or influences, which leaves less room for bias but also less information on the author and her works. It could also have a section about responses to Quan Barry and her works, as some other authors have, which would have to deal with tone and neutrality but also could look into a variety of sources from diverse and marginalized groups.

The article is the bare bones of what it should be, but it is a good start that can be built off of to create a better article with more background on the author and more sources.

It looks like this article is part of WikiProjects but has low importance, and there hasn't really been any discussion on the talk page, which is probably why there is so little in the article.
