Evaluate an article

 * Barcelona Pavilion: Barcelona Pavilion
 * I chose to evaluate this article because it looked like an interesting piece of architecture and that is related to the class

Lead evaluation
The lead sentence does clearly describe the topic. It does have a brief description of the article sections. The lead does not include any information not in the article itself. The lead is very concise and to the point by giving very basic but important information.

Content evaluation
Yes the article is relevant to the topic as it provides details about why the building was commissioned, who designed it and what is inside the building. It says the article was last updated in December 2019 which I would consider fairly up to date. I do not believe there is anything in the article that doesn't belong as it all either relates to the origin of the building or what it is used for now.

Tone and balance evaluation
The article is fairly neutral and anything that sounds like an opinion is sited by a source. There is no appearance of anything biased in this article as it is well cited. The article may overrepresent the architect of the building but he does have his own wikipedia page so maybe that is not the case. The article is not trying to persuade you of anything, just stating the facts related to the Barcelona Pavilion.

Sources and references evaluation
Yes all the facts are indeed backed up by referenced sources. I believe the sources are a good mix of research journals and other sites and they reflect the topic well. Most of the sources are from post 2000 so they are fairly current. All the links for the sources of the article do indeed go to the source.

Organization evaluation
This article flows very well and even someone who doesn't know a lot about this type of material can understand what the article is saying. There are no obvious writing errors in the article. The topics are well separated making it obvious what each topic in the article is about.

Images and media evaluation
The article has several good images that show layout and the outside of the building. The photos look a little bit small in the article, but nothing too jarring. The images appear to be in compliance with the Wikipedia copyright rules. I believe the images could be laid out a little better than just a bunch of gallery photos towards the end but that is subjective.

Talk page evaluation
The only thing in the talk page is someone changing some of the links so they would work. This article is part of the architecture WikiProjects. This talk post explains why the links had to be changed which I suppose is much more specific than what we have learned in class.

Overall evaluation
To me, the overall status of the article is complete until something new happens with the Pavilion. The strength of the article is that it has a lot of interesting information to provide lots of sources. Like I mentioned before I believe the images could be placed better but overall the article is good. The article is well developed showing the complete background of the Barcelona Pavilion.
