Which article are you evaluating?
Running amok

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate
The reason that I chose the article that I will be evaluating is because I had never heard of the psychiatric condition, as it is described, and I wanted to learn more about what it entailed. It's a topic that I thought would be worth learning about especially because of the threat that a condition like this poses and the effects that it can have on, not only the individual, but on others as well.

Evaluate the article
The information that was discussed in the article was relevant to the topic and it went in-depth when it came to explaining the condition/behavior of "running amok," and the background associated with it too. The lead was concise and provided brief detail of the information that was later discussed throughout the article. The organization of the article could be cleaned up a little bit and include similar content under the same section because there are some sections that are fully developed but there are others that seem to be lacking information. The tone was neutral and more informational than argumentative because it's apparent that the article is not trying to persuade the reader in one direction or another, but simply providing information about the condition/behavior. The links provided for the sources opened when I clicked on them and based on the citations that I was able to evaluate, the information seems to come from neutral sources and the sources also came from a widespread amount of authors/publications. The article itself is part of a couple of WikiProjects and as I was reading the conversations, I am made aware that the individuals on the talk page are really looking at the small details and questioning information that either does not make sense or is not backed up correctly. The article overall is rated start-class, meaning that it is still underdeveloped and while there is some valuable information, it still needs more. It was also rated low-importance which means that based on the field of study, the topic is not that important/significant. In order to improve the article, there would need to be more organization within/between the sections so that there is conciseness all throughout the article and more current sources that meet the requirements would also need to be provided.
