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


 * Name of article: Fine Line (album)
 * I chose to evaluate this article since I'm quite familiar with Harry Styles' album and feel that I'm fairly knowledgeable surrounding it.

Lead

 * Guiding questions


 * Does the Lead include an introductory sentence that concisely and clearly describes the article's topic?
 * Yes.
 * Does the Lead include a brief description of the article's major sections?
 * Yes.
 * Does the Lead include information that is not present in the article?

 * It's fairly concise

Content

 * Guiding questions


 * Is the article's content relevant to the topic?
 * Yes.
 * Is the content up-to-date?
 * Yes.
 * Is there content that is missing or content that does not belong?
 * I think there could be a section on the tour that was anticipated for this album. There also could be a section for the album promotion concert, Fine Night One Night Only, instead of just being in the 'release and promotion' section.
 * Does the article deal with one of Wikipedia's equity gaps? Does it address topics related to historically underrepresented populations or topics?
 * Considering the album isn't by someone who is historically underrepresented, I don't believe it does.

Tone and Balance

 * Guiding questions


 * Is the article neutral?
 * Yes.
 * Are there any claims that appear heavily biased toward a particular position?
 * No.
 * Are there viewpoints that are overrepresented, or underrepresented?
 * There appeared to be quite a few sources in the 'Critical reception' section that praise Styles' album but also describe the writing as lackluster.
 * Does the article attempt to persuade the reader in favor of one position or away from another?
 * No.

Sources and References

 * Yes.
 * Are the sources written by a diverse spectrum of authors? Do they include historically marginalized individuals where possible?

 * Yes.
 * Does the article have any grammatical or spelling errors?
