User:Rebecca5802/Evaluate an Article

Which article are you evaluating? (Provide a link to the article here.) Mikhail Zhvanetsky

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate? (Briefly explain why you chose it, why it matters, and what your preliminary impression of it was.) I wanted to learn more about comedy, and then I clicked on Jewish Comedy, and then I found Mikhail Zhvanetsky and I know that my parents like him so I wanted to learn more about him. Since we are in a language class, I thought that it would be interesting to focus on someone who speaks a different language.

Evaluate the article (Compose a detailed evaluation of the article here, considering each of the key aspects listed above. Consider the guiding questions, and check out the examples of what a useful Wikipedia article evaluation looks like.) The lead has a good introductory sentence. It explains who Zhvanetsky is and what he is known for. The lead is not overly detailed There is not a lot of content. It is relevant, however, it only says when and where he was born and the awards he won. There is a lot of missing information. The article is in a neutral point of view.

There are 5 good references. They are current, and they work. The article is clear and concise, however it is very short. There is a lot of information missing about his life.

It does include a good image of him.

There are not a lot of comments in the talk page and the article is not rated.

The article's overall status is not very good because there is very little information. Rebecca5802 20:53, 3 February 2021 (UTC)
