- The lead section is very developed, it is basically a brief biography of Steve Jobs.

- it has a brief description of every major section

Content

- There is a huge amount of information in the article, it covers basically every important part of his life including: early life/childhood, his life before Apple, his time at Apple before leaving, his return to Apple, and much more.

- All of the content is up to date, with a lot of sources added after his death.

- All content was appropriate and necessary for Steve Jobs' wiki page

- There are no equity gaps because Steve Jobs is widely idolized all over the world and has been heavily researched on, including countless books and movies about him before and after his death.

Tone and Balance

- The tone is very neutral other than some slight compliments to Jobs, like calling his designs innovative.

- There are many fringe viewpoints such as adding quotes from Jobs about how beautiful he thought his wife was when he first saw her, and a lot of other quotes about his personal life.

- No sources are current as of 2023, but all of the sources were up to date to when Jobs died, the latest source added was in 2022 when Biden awarded Jobs the posthumous medal of freedom.

 Organization and writing quality 

- The article is very well written at an appropriate length.

- There are sections of every major part of his life all in chronological order.

 Images and Media 

- The article has many good photos of Jobs and his products.

- Some of the pictures include Jobs holding up the first iPhone, Jobs in high school, Jobs with the first Mac, Jobs in the Oval Office, and Jobs with Bill Gates. These are some of the most iconic photos of Jobs.

- All photos are in chronological order and are appealing.

 Talk Page Discussion 

- All discussions on the talk page were discussing tiny minute details, like if Jobs went to India and studied zen Buddhism, or if he was just seeking zen buddhism. Another discussion was about incorrect grammar. Everyone also seems passive aggressive towards each other.

- I believe its a good thing that people are this nit-picky because it shows how much time and research has gone into this page.

 Overall Impressions 

- The wiki is an extensive and well organized resource for information about Jobs.

- The article was very detailed and in chronological order, it included his life in his early years, founding Apple, Leaving Apple, returning to Apple, and other things, all in order.

- There are a ton of citations and reputable sources with only about three small mistakes in the entire article, according to the talk page.

- I don't really think the article could be improved, there is plenty of information.
