Decipherment

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article to evaluate as it is a topic that is seen within my area of studies (Philosophy) and it also is related to the study of languages as well. At first glance, it seems like more information could be added to the article.

Evaluate the article

 * Lead Section
 * There is an introductory sentence to the topic and the information in the lead is all relevant to the topic. It goes over different meanings of the topic, however those do not correlate with the sections in the article. The lead is concise, but it also includes info that is not presented in the article.
 * Content
 * The content is relative to the topic and it is up to date (evident by the lists of deciphered/undeciphered texts). However, as previously mentioned there is some content missing, specifically the other meanings of decipherment in other areas of study as they are mentioned in the lead.
 * Tone and Balance
 * The article is written from a neutral point of view and I could not find any biased content on the page. The article mostly presents facts and information about different decipherment and different texts. This article should also include a point of view on decipherment in other areas of study.
 * Sources and References
 * The sources are cited for the information included in the article. The lists of undeciphered/deciphered texts and languages as well as that of famous decipherers are also hyperlinked to their related wikipedia articles. While they are not supported by a reliable source on this article, they do have their own sources on their own wikipedia pages. All the links do work.
 * Organization and Writing Quality
 * The article isn't well organized as the sections in the article don't correspond to the topics introduced in the lead. The writing style could be a bit better as well; as it is, it is a bit burdensome to read.
 * Images and Media
 * The article has no images or media.
 * Talk Page Discussion
 * This page is part of two WikiProjects: Writing Systems and Writing. It does not get much coverage on the talk page since 2009, but prior to that some Wikipedians were bettering this page. They also mention how this article should be expanded to cover more definitions of decipherment as it states in the Lead.
 * Overall Impression
 * The article is definitely missing some very important information, however, the information that is already provided in the article is reliable and has good sources and references so I see no problem with that. I definitely would not change/delete what is already in the article but would rather just add a lot more, if I were editing it.
