Digital heritage

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 this article because I have never heard of digital heritage before. My preliminary impression is that the article is somewhat detailed but could use some more updating.

Evaluate the article
Lead Section

The lead section includes a detailed introductory sentences that is conscience and to the point. It does not give a preview of the articles major sections. Content

So far the content is lacking in terms of quantity. The article seems very short compared to others I have seen, therefore I believe content is lacking in places. I believe more content can be added to each section to help support the article and provide more content. Tone and Balance-

All information is neutral tone and seemingly unbiased.

Sources and References

After looking at references provided, there are a good mix and diverse authors. After clicking on two of the references provided they did not seem to work. Overall the other sources provided are legit and backed up by secondary sources. I was able to find some scholarly sources on my own and digitial journals provided by Indiana University.

Organization and Writing Quality

The first paragraph is Cultural and Natural Heritage the leading paragraph is the educational impacts. This does not make sense because, they put virtual heritage two paragraphs underneath when they should have been in order. Other than that the article is seemingly well written minus two spelling errors.

Image and Media

The first thing I look for when going to a new Wikipedia article are the pictures. As someone who is a visual person, pictures and images always help me. This article only has two images andI believe more images could be added to enhance the article.

Overall Impressions

Overall I think the article has a lot of information but still lacking content. As mentioned previously, compared to other articles this one seems quite short. Strengths include, lot of information and references while more images and pictures need to be added and references with websites that work
