Which article are you evaluating?
Binary code

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article as I have been studying computer science for 6 years and feel that I would be able to understand the material on this page even if it were difficult to understand. Binary code in itself is a very simple topic which is why I believe I could analyze it better than a more complicated topic.

Evaluate the article
Overall the article is a bit difficult to read and is not very cohesive. The introduction could be improved by possibly changing the first line to "Binary code is a method of representing information using a two state system" it is more general and applies better to the examples given later in the article. It also does not make sense to immediately listing examples when the purpose of the article is to give an introduction and summary of the topic. The additional examples listed were beneficial to the article however, it added more variety and examples to the document that traditionally are not talked about as they are overshadowed by the use of binary in computing. As stated on the talk page, the history of binary is dominated with Gottfried Leibniz'z contributions while other arguably more notable contributions are shorter or not discussed. The history of binary should reduce the length of discussion of contributions of Leibniz and instead focus on how it came to attain its current form/uses. The imagery used is helpful, however I feel that when discussing ascii codes an ascii table would be useful for showing how numbers and letters are connected.
