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


 * Name of article: (lOn the Come Up)
 * I chose this article because Angie Thomas made a book that resonated with me called the The Hate U Give. I noticed that she had another book out that did not get as much attention, so I thought it would be a good topic to evaluate.

Lead

 * Guiding questions


 * Does the Lead include an introductory sentence that concisely and clearly describes the article's topic?
 * Does the Lead include a brief description of the article's major sections?
 * Does the Lead include information that is not present in the article?
 * Is the Lead concise or is it overly detailed?

Lead evaluation
The Lead of the article starts off with a introductory sentence that is clear about the subject. While the introductory sentence is presented well, the article does not do well to briefly describe the articles major section. On top of that the article also presents information (about the publisher) that is not included within the rest of the content. All that being said the Lead is concise in how the information is presented.

Content

 * Guiding questions


 * Is the article's content relevant to the topic?
 * Is the content up-to-date?
 * Is there content that is missing or content that does not belong?

Content evaluation
The article's content is relevant to the topic, not diving into any material that does not concern the book. However, the content is not up to date since it does not include information about the reception beyond the book's initial release. Moreover, the article is also missing the plot, setting, theme, and numbers associated with One the Come Up.

Tone and Balance

 * Guiding questions


 * Is the article neutral?
 * Are there any claims that appear heavily biased toward a particular position?
 * Are there viewpoints that are overrepresented, or underrepresented?
 * Does the article attempt to persuade the reader in favor of one position or away from another?

Tone and balance evaluation
The article remains neutral. The only claims that are made are stated in a factual manner. No sentences or phrases show any perspective that over or underrepresents certain viewpoints.

Sources and References

 * Guiding questions


 * Are all facts in the article backed up by a reliable secondary source of information?
 * Are the sources thorough - i.e. Do they reflect the available literature on the topic?
 * Are the sources current?
 * Check a few links. Do they work?

Sources and references evaluation
All the facts presented in the article have a reliable secondary source of information. While there are sources available only a few are thorough in reflecting on the book. However, that may be due to a lack of information provided in the article. Nonetheless, the sources are current and operable.

Organization

 * Guiding questions


 * Is the article well-written - i.e. Is it concise, clear, and easy to read?
 * Does the article have any grammatical or spelling errors?
 * Is the article well-organized - i.e. broken down into sections that reflect the major points of the topic?

Organization evaluation
The article is decently written, however, some of the summaries of characters are lacking in information that would create more holistic sentences for readers. There are little to no errors and for what is available there was an attempt to break down the information in sections.

Images and Media

 * Guiding questions


 * Does the article include images that enhance understanding of the topic?
 * Are images well-captioned?
 * Do all images adhere to Wikipedia's copyright regulations?
 * Are the images laid out in a visually appealing way?

Images and media evaluation
The only image used is the cover art of the book with the caption, First Edition Cover. Consequentially, the limited images are appropriate for the article and does not violate any copyright regulations.

Checking the talk page

 * Guiding questions


 * What kinds of conversations, if any, are going on behind the scenes about how to represent this topic?
 * How is the article rated? Is it a part of any WikiProjects?
 * How does the way Wikipedia discusses this topic differ from the way we've talked about it in class?

Talk page evaluation
There are no conversations on the talk page of this article. The article is rated as a stub and is a general part of WikiProject's Children's Literature. What differs about the way this topic is discussed in Wikipedia would have to dive into the motivation of individuals involved in this project. I would suspect that due tot the subject many are either interested in teaching or writing/reading young adult/ children literature.

Overall impressions

 * Guiding questions


 * What is the article's overall status?
 * What are the article's strengths?
 * How can the article be improved?
 * How would you assess the article's completeness - i.e. Is the article well-developed? Is it underdeveloped or poorly developed?

Overall evaluation
The article is simply just a start. While the outline is there, the amount of information is lacking. I would love to add more to put in a plot section as well as see if there are any academic articles that reviews the themes and settings the book discusses. Overall, I'd conclude that this article is underdeveloped.
