 * Chief Keef: (Chief Keef)
 * I've chosen this article because I feel as though I am qualified enough to verify the content on this page, its accuracy, and deem it a good representation of AlmightySo. I was first introduced to Chief Keef in the 5th grade, and ever since then I've been a Glory Boy.

Lead

 * Guiding questions

The lead concisely and clearly introduces Keef, listing all his talents from being a rapper, singer, songwriter, and record producer. along with going background information on how he rose to stardom overnight originally, and his lengthy criminal history which adds directly to his musical expression. It isn't overly detailed, nor does it include useless information that just takes up space.


 * Does the Lead include an introductory sentence that concisely and clearly describes the article's topic?
 * Does the Lead include a brief description of the article's major sections?
 * Does the Lead include information that is not present in the article?
 * Is the Lead concise or is it overly detailed?

Content

 * Guiding questions

The content is very relevant to Keef and does not stray away into different territory; surprisingly it is up to date with his latest single releases and collaborations with other artists. Such as the one he had with Lil Uzi Vert in "Eternal Atake" earlier this year. In terms of Keef's personal life, it addresses his relationships and his affiliations with various gangs and the street life in general with accuracy and in a concise fashion. Concerning the mentioning of underrepresented populations or topics, Keef is from an underrepresented area in Chicago, the Southside. Through his content you learn a lot about the disparity between the Southside and the rest of Chicago, the crime and poverty being two of the most significant differences.


 * Is the article's content relevant to the topic?
 * Is the content up-to-date?
 * Is there content that is missing or content that does not belong?
 * Does the article deal with one of Wikipedia's equity gaps? Does it address topics related to historically underrepresented populations or topics?

Tone and Balance

The article is incredibly neutral, as it doesn't push any one narrative for anything. It sticks to breaking down all the accolades, legal trouble, and musical ventures without imposing anything else on the reader.


 * Is the article neutral?
 * Are there any claims that appear heavily biased toward a particular position?
 * Are there viewpoints that are overrepresented, or underrepresented?
 * Does the article attempt to persuade the reader in favor of one position or away from another?

Sources and References

 * Guiding questions

All of the sources seem reliable as they are either Chicago newspapers or music based sites that show charts and analytics concerning Keef's music. However when it comes to marginalized peoples, i'm not quite sure if the sources were written by a diverse spectrum as they were published through large corporations.


 * Are all facts in the article backed up by a reliable secondary source of information?
 * Are the sources thorough - i.e. Do they reflect the available literature on the topic?
 * Are the sources current?
 * Are the sources written by a diverse spectrum of authors? Do they include historically marginalized individuals where possible?
 * Check a few links. Do they work?

 * Guiding questions

It's well organized into sections, has no grammatical errors, and is concise and easy to read.


 * Is the article well-written - i.e. Is it concise, clear, and easy to read?
 * Does the article have any grammatical or spelling errors?
 * Is the article well-organized - i.e. broken down into sections that reflect the major points of the topic?

Images and Media

 * Guiding questions

There are a limited amount of images, so they don't add too much in the understanding of the topic in any way, they are more there just as a visual representation of the figure.


 * Does the article include images that enhance understanding of the topic?
 * Are images well-captioned?
 * Do all images adhere to Wikipedia's copyright regulations?
 * Are the images laid out in a visually appealing way?

Checking the talk page

 * Guiding questions

I thought we could pick any article to evaluate and we didn't have to choose one relating to class, which is unfortunate because if I did have to do that I've goofed. But at least I've now introduced some of you to one of the influential artists and icons to ever grace this planet.


 * What kinds of conversations, if any, are going on behind the scenes about how to represent this topic?
 * How is the article rated? Is it a part of any WikiProjects?
 * How does the way Wikipedia discusses this topic differ from the way we've talked about it in class?

Overall impressions

 * Guiding questions

I'd say this article can be enhanced by adding more pictures, perhaps from Keef's early life showing visually his relationship to his peers, or general pictures depicting Keef early on in his life.


 * What is the article's overall status?
 * What are the article's strengths?
 * How can the article be improved?
 * How would you assess the article's completeness - i.e. Is the article well-developed? Is it underdeveloped or poorly developed?
