Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose to evaluate this article due to the fact that I grew up reading and watching and reading Eloise. Therefore, the article stood out to me as I am familiar with the overall content and think that it is an interesting article to evaluate.

Evaluate the article
The Lead section of this article provides the basis of the article's topic, the Eloise book series, written by Kay Thompson and illustrated by Hilary Knight. This section falls short in that it does not allude to any of the article's sections and is a bit too consice. The Lead section provides a sentence about the main characters in the Eloise series and describes Eloise as a little girl who lives in the Plaza Hotel, but does not give any more insight about what the article will explain.

The article's content is accurate, relevant, and up-to-date. The article provides a history of how the character Eloise came to be, including inspiration from the author Kay Thompson's alter-ego, as well as the illustrator, Katherine Sturges Dodge's mother. The article provides the list of books from this series, including the original Eloise followed by four sequels: Eloise in Paris (1957), Eloise at Christmastime (1958), Eloise in Moscow (1959) , and Eloise Takes a Bawth (2002). Additionally, the article provides insights into more modern day adaptations of Eloise. The article transitions into discussing the Walt Disney Television adaptations of Eloise, creating Eloise at the Plaza as well as Eloise at Christmastime. Finally, the article provides insight into Eloise's legacy, as there is a portrait in the Plaza Hotel dedicated to Eloise. As I mentioned before, the content of the article is accurate, relevant, and up-to-date, however, there is no real information about the books themselves, especially in reference to the plot. The article provides the names of the main characters, but it does not provide any insight into the main aspects of each book in the series or major plot points.

The tone of the article is very well balanced and neutral. There seems to be no biased interpretations of the series embedded in this article. There are many references cited in this article. Many are from well known sources, however some are sourced from pop culture magazines like Vanity Fair or the Hollywood Reporter, which may not be entirely notable. This article is well organized and does not seem to have any grammatical or spelling errors.

The talk page is very inactive for this article. There is one conversation about the lack of a surname in the Eloise books. The talk page classifies this article as C-Class with a mid to low-importance ranking in novels, children's literature, and New York City, but of high-importance in the women writers section.

Overall, the article is well-written and accurate. The article does a good job of making reference to all of the books in the series as well as providing insights into the series' adaptations both on paper and on the TV screen. The article could definitely be improved by providing more information on the plot and more context on the characters and their roles. Additionally, the article should include a more detailed Lead section that delves deeper than just stating the names of the main characters in the series. If the article were to become more developed, I think that it would be of great use in more WikiProjects than it is now.
