Which article are you evaluating?
(Square Enix - Wikipedia)

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 chose the videogame company Square Enix Holdings Co, mainly because it's a company that I have known about for all my life, so I figured evaluating the wiki on a company that I've known about for the longest time would be humbling and I might learn a new thing or two about the company that I didn't know about beforehand. My preliminary impression from the quick summary that I read was lots of surprise. I didn't realize that square and Enix were two different companies with Square just being a Software company. It wasn't until the merger happened that they started calling themselves Square Enix.

Content

1.The info in this article is very relevant to the topic since it's about the company and its history. I would say it's pretty up to date as well. and in terms of missing information or information that doesn't belong I don't see any and it all seems to be in order.

Tone and Balance

2. The article is pretty much neutral, mainly because it's not trying to argue any "side." to an argument its simply talking about the timeline/history of the company and its humble beginnings.

Sources and References

3. This article dose has plenty of recourses especially considering the fact that this company has been around for a long time, it's been around for so long that that this article has about 259 sources, now I didn't look through them all, but I saw a few familiar names listed as sources one of them being IGN which is a news reporting website over anything game related.

Organization and writing quality.

4. The article is fairly well organized I'd say, the way the information is put together if feels like a well put together timeline of the business throughout its lifetime.

Images and Media

5. This article doesn't really provide many images and or media, but I don't think it really needs it considering the vast amount of information available.

Talk page discussion.

6. A lot of the things I saw in the talk page discussion was a lot of people wanting to add more information that wasn't there before, It also seems like information on here is still being updated because the most recent post was made in 2023 so it is still active to say the least. but as far as I can tell this article is not related to any Wiki Projects.

Overall Impressions

7. Over all I have to say I am impressed with the way all the information is formatted and the amount of information there impresses me. I think the articles biggest strength lies in recounting the history of the company. In terms of improving this article I don't know if there is a way to make it better than it already is. It's listed its achievements, what game franchises it has and many other things the company has worked on. Overall, I would say this article covers most of the bases that the questions were asking.
