Which article are you evaluating?
Digital audio

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 this article, because audio matters a lot to me. I am a musician and I record a lot of digital audio. I think digital audio as a subject matters because many people may not fully understand what digital audio is, or the the logistics, properties, or uses of digital.

Evaluate the article
LEAD SECTION

I think the lead section is good, but there are a few things that can be added (and taken away) to bring clarity to the overall information being given. There is a little too much detail in the lead section and I think it will confuse readers. This information should be redirected to the content section of the article.

CONTENT

Some sections are good, mostly all sections need more information. The Telephony section seems out of place and unnecessary and the audio interface section seems incomplete and needs more quality information. New sections can be added as this is a very broad subject.

TONE AND BALANCE

The material seems very neutral. This isn't a topic that could really form a stance on anything, so all information is very unbiased.

SOURCES AND RESOURCES

There are not many sources for this article. Many are academic publications, but I found a few to be opinion based articles on audio. There are many books, articles, and research studies on audio and digital audio available.

ORGANIZATION AND WRITING QUALITY

The organization is okay. There are some sections that do not make sense or contribute to the overall article. The writing is good and easy to understand.

IMAGES AND MEDIA

Most of the images are great. More could be added, and maybe some audio example could be added for some of the sections.

TALK PAGE DISCUSSION

The talk page discussion isn't extremely full. There are many contributions saying the "telephony" section doesn't make sense and that some images could be added.

OVERALL IMPRESSION

The article needs improvement, while yes there are some very strong sections of this page, it still needs more information and clarity. Sections could be improved added, and or removed.
