Evaluate an article
This is where you will complete your article evaluation. Please use the template below to evaluate your selected article.


 * Name of article: Peter Pan (1953 film)
 * Briefly describe why you have chosen this article to evaluate. This article includes abundant detailed information but still is ranked as C class, which I found makes it necessary to evaluate the drawbacks and figure out how to improve.

Lead

 * Guiding questions


 * 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?

Lead evaluation
The Lead doesn't serve as a well-summarized introduction since it doesn't cover the bullet points of the main body content, but rather concentrates on the administrative information.

Content

 * Guiding questions


 * 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?

Content evaluation
The "Legacy" part in this article is relatively irrelevant to the topic. The writing doesn't draw a strong connection between the legacy and the movie.

Tone and Balance

 * Guiding questions


 * 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?

Tone and balance evaluation
Too much adjectives are applied to introduce the characters in the movie, which from my perspective is overrepresented and would cause an outcome of persuasion.

Sources and References

 * Guiding questions


 * 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?
 * Check a few links. Do they work?

Sources and references evaluation
Some of the links don't exist anymore and part of them are from unreliable sources such as company's website in which biased information may occur.

Organization

 * Guiding questions


 * 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?

Organization evaluation
The article is clearly divided into sections. Almost all sections reflect the major points of the topic. But the format is tight and concentrated to read easily. Also, there are several grammatical errors.

Images and Media

 * Guiding questions


 * 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?

Images and media evaluation
For writing about a movie, which is one of the genres of visual art, it is necessary to provide more pictures to illuminate the topic and enhance the understanding. But the article only includes two pictures that fail to achieve this goal.

Checking the talk page

 * Guiding questions


 * 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?

Talk page evaluation
The article is ranked as C-Class and is the part of WikiProjects Disney, WikiProjects Film, and the other two. The conversation covers the copyright, external links re-editing, etc.

Overall impressions

 * Guiding questions


 * 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?

Overall evaluation
The article is mediocre-developed. It provides precise details both front and behind the scene. The grammatical errors needs to be fixed. More images are supposed to be added. It would be necessary to embellish the content to delete some adjectives and redundant information. The last but not the least, a better-organized and clearer format will make the article more easily being read.
