Article Review
Patrick Rothfuss is an esteemed writer but, unfortunately, his page was too well done for me to critique successfully. So instead I will do my favorite book of his, The Name of the Wind. I have read this book cover to cover at least five times. So I want the page on his best book to be as good as it is on him. I visited the Name of the Wind page on Wikipedia and found three aspects worth commenting on: citations, representations, and missing Information

Representations
The over-representation of the plot is extreme, to the point that all of the other sections put together to make up a quarter of it. The plot is an in-depth summary of the story and the events that happen. Many sentences are not needed for the telling of this. For example, the statement that there is only one university in this book, which if you read it you know that there is many, but The University, is the most prominent. The underrepresented parts of this article include the awards and the writing history (of the author). The awards are bulleted, not using any details except for what the actual award is. The writing history of the Author, Patrick Rothfuss, is consisted of four sentences. These four sentences are to describe, not only the author's history in writing but also his history in writing The Name of the Wind. There isn't near enough information for this to be applied.

Missing information
This article is severely underdeveloped when it comes to anything besides the actual plot of the book. The actual process the author went through in creating the book and the number of copies that are in print is not apparent in the article at all. The writing history vague and doesn't talk about the authors writing style or how he developed into a writer. The country the book was published in is only in the sidebar and not explained in the actual article itself. I found these missing pieces when I compared this article to highly refined ones on books that are first in a series (e.x. Harry Potter, The Hunger Games).

Overall
This article definitely didn't meet my expectations of what I wanted it to be, which is only good for this assignment. The citations are lacking, saying the least. I change his inspirations and provide a citation for the fact, which is "He drew inspiration from the idea that he wanted a completely new kind of book that doesn't have the generic characteristics of fantasy." I found this in an interview from the Phantasik. Sadly, The rating I would give this article is 5/10, but I'll be working my best on slowly making it better.
