Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
(Briefly explain why you chose it, why it matters, and what your preliminary impression of it was.)

I have chosen this article because I will be working in a Big Four accounting firm after graduation so I find this article relatable to my future as well as this class. This article matters because the four main accounting firms known around the world are the Big Four firms, so I believe having knowledge of these firms and their history is important. My preliminary impression of this article was that it would summarize what the Big Four accounting firms are, what their responsibilities are, and their history.

Everything in this article is relevant to the topic, and nothing in the article distracted me, as I found the information to be organized, as it separates information from charts. There is no known information that is out of date or missing, as even the chart with revenues listed for each company was recently updated. There were not any notable equity gaps and on the line graphs there was a line for revenue decreases indicating it was because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The article is neutral as there are no biases and no over or underrepresented views. When clicking on the sources, each link works and takes me to the directed page. Each link can be considered reliable and the information comes from different articles as well as the official websites of each Big Four accounting firm. The Talk page considers an instance of collusion on the firms which some may disagree, but poor audit quality examples were provided to support their views.
