User:Samuel Raaflaub/Evaluate an Article

Lead does mention all the sections, but could provide a better overview. It also mentions something that would appear to be self discrepancy theory, but that is never talked about in the article.

Content is good, but could be expanded on. Most of the info is on evolutionary perspectives, if the article is to be expanded into other sections there could be a bit more added.

The tone and balance of the article are all good. Most current source was published in 2008 with the majority being from the early 2000's or prior. The article is organized well and concise. Overall this article could be improved in multiple ways depending on what should be done. The illusions of control section could be removed and the article just be a self esteem evolutionary functions or other implication of self esteem could be added to create more context as a whole. The lead mentions things that are not touched on in the article and self esteem could be better defined in the lead. To continue the article doesn't talk about the relevance of self esteem in an individual and how it fluctuates throughout one's life.
