Which article are you evaluating?
Risk management

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 it was on the academic list of articles to chose from and it looked interesting to me. It discusses an overall topic of risk management for multiple different topics. Not one specific area of risk management.

Lead Section:


 * Introduction sentence is extremely clear and easy to understand
 * Article introduces some sections for rest of the article but not many of them
 * I think the lead is just a bit overly detailed, its a bit tough to read for some of it

Content:


 * The content is up to date and has very detailed pieces of information for each section. This article has clearly been edited and touched on many times over time being a very broad article and not one specific thing

Tone:


 * As far as tone goes, for this specific topic and article it is a little tough to take a "side" for risk management. But they have a balance of bad risks and what they call "opportunity" as good risks

Sources:

Article has a clear references section and the links do work and check out for the information the article gives

All sources checked are current with the time or have been revised within the last three years

Organization:

Article is a bit lengthy for such a broad topic but it is easy to follow throughout the article

No spelling error that I could notice

Images:

The first image in the lead with the NASA photo is a great example of Risk Management. Not many other images or examples other than that.

Talk page:

Talks about the risk communication community and a few other wiki projects that the risk management page is apart of

It differs a bit just because this page is a bit more professional and does not look like just anybody wrote it

Overall:

The article is well written and concise for the topic that it's on. Risk management is so broad so it needed to be a larger article. Only thing I would have liked to see was more images or media examples. It is well developed and I would say it is completed other than images.
