Go Hui-dong

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 chose it because it very obviously needs a lot of editing and addition of information. Go Hui-dong is an important figure in Korean Visual Culture and the introduction of oil painting in Korea.

The Lead Section does not seem to lack too much in its content. However, there are details in the Lead Section that are not mentioned elsewhere in the article.

The only Content found within the article is the Lead Section. There is a lot of content missing, such as specific facts about his education and his collection of work. There is also the fact that he introduced a new medium of painting to the Korean art scene.

There are only two sources for this article, both of which direct the reader/editor to the same magazine article written about Go Hui-dong's house. Thus, the quantity and reliability of the sources can be improved.

The writing quality of the article is clear and concise, however, it's organization can be improved by the addition of more relevant information.

There is an image that is captioned. However, the date of the image and the image themselves have not been cited.

The Talk page showcases a wish list of information that is sought after, however, there does not seem to be a long discussion about the article. The article has been rated as 'Stub' and 'Mid'. The article and the talk page have not been edited since 2015. The Wikipedia discussion seems a lot more surface level and lacks the knowledge of detail we studied and mentioned in class.

I believe the article is underdeveloped. Although the figure the article is based on is of importance, the article itself lacks a lot of information and context. Even though the information presented is addressed in a clear and concise manner, it only covers the basic biographical details of his life, without a focus or a mention of his career or his works.
