Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article to evaluate because it interested me as I am enrolled in the Communications and Digital Media Studies program at my university. This article discusses the history of communication. It is important to see how communication has changed over time and how communication has developed throughout the years. My preliminary impression of this article is that it is well-organized and easy to read as it displays the various ways communication has developed and changed throughout the years.

Evaluate the article
The article has a good lead section as it includes an introductory statement that concisely and clearly describes the article but is not overly detailed. This section also outlines a few topics that are discussed throughout the article (i.e. pictograms, ideograms). All of the article's information appears to be relevant and up to date. However, there are quite a few topics that can be discussed in more depth (i.e. telecommunication section). The article is written in a neutral tone of view and does not appear to be biased. Although, various statements require citations. Not all of the facts are backed up by reliable sources, nor are all statements properly cited. Various users have edited this article, and the few links I clicked worked properly. The article was well-organized and easy to read, with few obvious grammatical errors. More images could have been used, but the images used helped enhance the understanding of the topic, although the captions could be improved upon. There were no conversations posted under the talk page section of this article. Overall, the article was easy to follow along with and is well-organized. This article could be improved by going into more depth on various topics throughout the article and adding additional images with stronger captions. The information would be deemed more reliable if their work was cited more frequently. I would assess the article's completeness as underdeveloped for the reasons listed above.
