Tabitha Brown (actress)

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
Tabitha Browh is a popular vegan influencer. I started watching her vegan cooking videos on Youtube last year on the Goodful channel - a vegan foodwellness channel. She recieved 2nd most watched tiktoker around the time I started taking this class. I was facinated that she was also loved by so many others and ranked so highly on an app I had accociated with teen dancers and fashion influencers, especially as a Black chef and a vegan content creator.

Evaluate the article
Lead Section

This article has a pretty short lead section. The introductory sentence concisely describes the article’s topic, and the section does mention the content that is to follow. However, the last sentence that alludes to the critic 's opinions of her as being “America’s mom”, “calm”, and “comforting'' is not elaborated further in the article.

Content

Her page mostly focuses on her career- split into 3 parts. Her social media fame makes up only ⅓ of the article, to my surprise and also does not mention her Youtube content. The content is mostly up to date, although her Tiktok count has also grown considerably from 2 million to near 5 million and she has amassed almost 78 million views. There is not much about her personal life besides her spousal information. It would be interesting to hear more about her backstory in this wiki entry.

Tone and Balance

This article does seem to be from a neutral point of view though it does have some subjective descriptors from new sources like Huff post, and there does not seem to be a bais. I think more of her current coming to fame story would be important and more of her values in her work would be a great addition. I think it would also be interesting to talk about rising veganism for Black people.

Sources and References

A lot of the sources used are from news media outlets that conduct interviews and review her media. They range from NPR to Buzzfeed to tweets, which I think are pretty unconventional sources for a wiki source. Though I think this is because she is a modern influencer, thus I am unsure if there is more in depth peer reviewed content on her. There are a wide variety of media sources though.

Organization and writing quality

The article is very clear, and I have not detected any spelling or grammatical errors. The article categorizes her career into 3 parts, but I think that there can be more categories that are more specific.

Image and Media

The images on the article are not up to date and do not reflect her current professional state. The one picture on there is captioned with just her last name and a year, without any context. The picture is from wiki commons and thus not copyrighted.

Talk page discussion

The article is part of many projects including media,food,women, and vegan/vegetarianism. It seems to be underway to be recategorized from actor to pioneer. The history shows the last edit was made in February and that it has been pretty consistently edited in the past few months- this wiki page is still in progress.

Overall Impression

I am excited for her to have a more indepth page. It is awesome to see as an environmentalist the popularity of a vegan influencer. The article is very concise, but can use a lot more detail, especially her contribution to Black health as a vegan influencer and her contribution to food culture from an environmental perspective. I think this is an underdeveloped article, but seems to be building.
