This is where you will complete your article evaluation. Please use the template below to evaluate your selected article.


 * Name of article: History of Science
 * I chose this article because it was the first article I came to after the suggestions by Wikipedia from the articles to choose from related to the class.

Lead

 * Guiding questions

The lead paragraph is solid and aptly describes the subject of the article without adding information that is not present in the article. The lead didn't have a brief description of the article's major sections but considering the subject and the amount of sections this is to the benefit of the article.

Lead evaluation
Solid.

Content

 * Guiding questions

Content is sufficient and up-to-date.

Content evaluation
Great!

Tone and Balance

 * Guiding questions
 * The article remains neutral to the most part only breaking this when describing or adding citations from some sources.

Tone and balance evaluation
Good.

Sources and References

 * Guiding questions

Due to the scope of the subject, this article has hundred of cited sources and as such they may not be current but the majority probably are and they reflect the literature well on this topic. Links also work.

Sources and references evaluation
Astounding!

Organization

 * Guiding questions

To me this article is well written, with no grammatical lapses as far as I can tell, and well enough organized.

Organization evaluation
Great!

Images and Media

 * Guiding questions
 * There are plenty of images with descriptions in this article that for the most part enhance the topic.

Checking the talk page

 * Guiding questions

Large amount of conversations going on each section and about many things including information/source bias. Some of conversation is more professional while some injects emotions and opinions. This article is part of four WikiProjects and was rated a B-class article.

Overall impressions

 * Guiding questions
 * This article has great depth in information and has plenty of sources to back the information. The greatest strength is the amount of sources but could be improved by expanding on earlier science and technology. This article is well-developed.

Overall evaluation
Solid.
