 * Does the Lead include a brief description of the article's major sections?
 * Does the Lead include information that is not present in the article?
 * Is the Lead concise or is it overly detailed?

Lead evaluation

 * 1) It goes into his character before diving in
 * 2) It does by sectioning them into categories
 * 3) That I could find, there seems to be no evidence of such things.
 * 4) It seems to do both where it describes who the character is but does not shy away from a deep amount of information.

Content

 * Guiding questions


 * Is the article's content relevant to the topic?
 * Is the content up-to-date?
 * Is there content that is missing or content that does not belong?

Content evaluation

 * 1) For the most part of it when it comes to history and such however there are some things are not particularly vital for the character such as sexual orientation but it can still be in as that part of his life comes up.
 * 2) It has been with its last update was I believe a month ago
 * 3) Other than what I have mentioned with the sexual orientation part, probably his reception would be another as I am not really aware of what that does.

Tone and Balance

 * Guiding questions


 * Is the article neutral?
 * Are there any claims that appear heavily biased toward a particular position?
 * Are there viewpoints that are overrepresented, or underrepresented?
 * Does the article attempt to persuade the reader in favor of one position or away from another?

Tone and balance evaluation

 * 1) The article is not neutral
 * 2) There does seem to be some sort of bias one way or another however it is not so evident than what I would assume.
 * 3) I think there are moments of both in this. There are sections that go into deep detail of which comic an event happened.

 * Are the sources current?
 * Check a few links. Do they work?

Sources and references evaluation

 * There is definitely a lot of information out of the wazoo in the article section plus people in the talk section know what they are talking about. There is a good list of sources that are included for this topic. Though some bits in the talk section are still rather childish in how they are written.
 * The Sources are indeed thorough going through all sections of information on the character.
 * The sources are for the most part up to date plus it includes older but still relevant information about the character
 * The links I checked out still work and sends you to the correct place

 * Is the article well-written - i.e. Is it concise, clear, and easy to read?
 * Does the article have any grammatical or spelling errors?
 * Is the article well-organized - i.e. broken down into sections that reflect the major points of the topic?

Organization evaluation

 * 1) The article itself may be easy for a reader like me however it may be daunting to look at for one that is unfamiliar with the topic.
 * 2) From what I glanced at I could not find anything that stuck out to me
 * 3) It is sectioned off very well and given an order of importance

 * Are images well-captioned?

 * 1) There are and it does a good job when it comes to visual aid of the character
 * 2) Yes as they give good description of what is being shown in the images
 * 3) They do
 * 4) They are in a way where they are not distracting to the content given

Checking the talk page

 * Guiding questions


 * What kinds of conversations, if any, are going on behind the scenes about how to represent this topic?
 * How is the article rated? Is it a part of any WikiProjects?
 * How does the way Wikipedia discusses this topic differ from the way we've talked about it in class?

Talk page evaluation

 * 1) The talk section is not the best in comparison to the actual article as for the most part it seems like a comment section of something.
 * 2) The article does not seem to be connected to any sort of WikiProjects
 * 3) Well obviously this is not something that has not been talked about it in class
