User:SGurmu/Evaluate an Article

Which article are you evaluating?
Peace Park (Seattle)

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I am choosing this article because it is close to the U District and I regularly pass by it. I noticed that the current article is lacking significant information and this could be a really good opportunity for me to improve the quality of this article. There was nothing impressive about the article and was really minimal, I am hoping to change this add necessary information about the park so close to our UW campus.

Evaluate the article
Lead Section

- The article does contain a lead section that clearly identifies the location and surroundings of the park as an introductory paragraph

- It jumps into its construction - who/when it was made

- Provides minimal background info - names important ideas without further detail

Content

- The extent of the content of the article (the only other paragraph) regards vandalism

- There is certainly content this is missing and could benefit from being added

- Heavy focus on the location, lacks info about history about park itself and the statue dedicated/ story behind the name 'Peace Park'

- Needs updating / any current vandalism or events occurred at the park

Tone and Balance

- The article remains neutral and there is no clear indication of bias

Sources and References

- The only reference available is from 2004, could use an update

- Article lacks diverse point of view, but vaguely references some Japanese history

- Link seems to be working properly

Organization and writing quality

- After review there are no obvious signs of grammatical errors, and the writing quality is fair

- Article is not well organized; jumps from background to vandalism nothing in between these paragraphs

- The article is sparse and there is not enough content / information for readers

Images and Media

- Article includes a single image of the view of the park

- Addition images (statue) other area could be included

- The image included appears in an appealing way

Talk Page Discussion

- The only message on the Talk Page is dated in 2009, there has been 0 activity since then

- The article is currently rated Stub-Class and Low Importance

Overall Impressions

- My overall impression is that this article has a really good opportunity to expand and include more relevant information

- There is going to be a lot for me to add to this article, including more history, statue information, Japanese history surrounding the park, how people in the area utilize the area
