 * Name of article: Thai Culture and Food Festival
 * I chose this article to evaluate because I am interested in Thai culture and food. I visited Thailand two summers ago, and I really enjoyed my time there, and loved the food. I thought it would be interesting to read more about it, so I chose this article.

Lead

 * Guiding questions

The Lead of this article is good. It is concise, and provides a brief overview of what the article is about. Although it is very short, I think it does a good job of describing what the Thai Culture and Food Festival is about.

Content

 * Guiding questions

This article's content was a little bit lacking. There was some info about the history of the festival, as well as some information about the 2013 festival, but there wasn't much else in this article. The content was relevant to the topic, but there simply was not enough content and information.

Tone and Balance

 * Guiding questions

The tone and balance of this article was good. I thought it was very unbiased and neutral, and simply stated facts, instead of opinions. I think there are lots of underrepresented portions in this article, but I think that is only because the article was so short. I don't think the article attempted to persuade the reader in any direction, it did a good job of simply stating facts and presenting information about the festival.

Sources and References

 * Guiding questions

All the sources presented in this article were up to date, and credible. Most of the information came from the official website of the Thai Culture and Food Festival, so it was definitely credible and reliable.

Organization

 * Guiding questions

I think the article was organized, but only because it was so short. Much more information needs to be added to this article, so it was hard to judge the organization, so it was so short. Other than that, the grammar was not an issue.

Images and Media

 * Guiding questions
 * There are no images or media in this article. Some pictures of the festival would have definitely added to the article, so I think it was an issue that there were no images.

Checking the talk page

 * Guiding questions

There aren't any conversations going on about this article, probably because it was such a short and specific article.

Overall impressions

 * Guiding questions

I think this article was severely lacking. There was simply not enough information about the festival, and there were no images or other media. The information that is included in the article is interesting and credible, but there needs to be much more information added into this article.
