I chose this article because I have an interest in baseball and am somewhat familiar with this player. This article matters because of the influence Hall of Fame baseball players have on the sports history. My preliminary impression of this article was very positive. There's a lot of information that is shared both about Joe DiMaggio's career and personal life.

Everything in the article is relevant to Joe DiMaggio. Nothing distracted me from the topic in this article. I did not see any out of date information. I think in some of the smaller sections there could be more information that goes into greater detail such as the Television programs sub-section, talking more about what his television programs had would be very interesting. Some sections were larger than others and should have more information.

I could not find any claims leading one way or another but there were some times where things were worded in ways showing emotion, which could have been true in the situations for Joe DiMaggio to experience but I'm not sure how that would be known. I could not find viewpoints that were overrepresented or underrepresented.

The links I checked within the article do work and those sources do support the article. The references are appropriate and reliable. The information I looked at all came from websites that were organizations regarding baseball. They were neutral sources because they all had to do with statistical baseball information. These sources did come from an array of publications. Evaluating Talk Page
