Which article are you evaluating?
Natasha Katz

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article because Natasha Katz is a lighting designer for the stage and the screen. Her work fits squarely within my interests and my area of study. This article caught my eye because I actually did a presentation on Natasha Katz in a previous course and I quickly dismissed this article because it was so sparse and list-like.

Evaluate the article
Everything in this article is on topic. The lede is unfortunately only a single sentence that highlights very little useful information. Her Early life and education section is similarly sparse with most of the article's content sitting in the Career and Awards sections. There are no overt errors beyond some empty cells in the table of awards. I think this article's greatest failing is the lack of organization or understanding of how a Wikipedia article should be structured. The Career section seems to have some structure, but it isn't conducive to finding any useful details easily. There are sources and citations, but they seem to often be ill-formatted or not using a reliable source. It isn't written like propaganda, but it isn't written like an encyclopedia either. It's more of a listicle of all her achievements without any actual synthesis or additional detail. For an article about a lighting designer, there are absolutely no images or other media to illustrate her work. In general I think it's due for an overhaul with a well thought out structure and all new sources.
