Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
Out of the three articles listed, "The Westies " seemed the most interesting to me.

Evaluate the article

 * 1) The lead includes and introductory sentence that briefly explains what the article is going to be about. This is good in letting the readers know if the article is a good source for the information they were looking for.
 * 2) The content in the article is relevant to the topic. Although, some of the information was not needed and simply just made the article longer. For example, some of the information under the history tab talking about how "Spillane sent flowers to neighbors in the hospital" was not needed.
 * 3) The history portion of this article could have been structured better. Reading the article did not give me all the information I needed since it was not very easy to follow along. This article assumed that the readers already had some prior knowledge about "The Westies" which was not very good since I had never heard about them.
 * 4) I personally did not find any spelling or grammatical errors (I may be entirely wrong about this since I only read it once) which means the writer proofread his/her work well.
 * 5) There was only one image in this article which did not really give me any additional information on the topic. I do wish there were more images to help engage the reader's.
 * 6) The overall structure of this article is pretty good, it has a lot of information pertaining the topic.
 * 7) This article can focus more on being more straight to the point with their information, some of the stuff I read just felt like "rambling" which made me get bored and zone out. I also do wish this article went in with the mindset that the readers do not know anything about "The westies"  and made it a little easier to understand their background.
 * 8) I would rate this article as 'underdeveloped". It is structured well but could definitely use some improvements.
