Gender digital divide - Wikipedia

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
(Briefly explain why you chose it, why it matters, and what your preliminary impression of it was.)

I chose this article because I found our discussions of the topic in class to be very interesting. It is a topic that I have knowledge about but would like to expand upon. I noticed this topic in the available articles and when I read it, I noticed many instances of inconsistency or simply poor/suggestive writing.

Evaluate the article
(Compose a detailed evaluation of the article here, considering each of the key aspects listed above. Consider the guiding questions, and check out the examples of what a useful Wikipedia article evaluation looks like.)

Lead Section

The lead is a bit generalized and doesn't necessarily focus in on the topic of discussion.

Content

The article seems to have all the moving parts that highlight relevant information surrounding the topic, however, they seem to be written with little overarching themes. The content seems discussed as though it could be its own article rather than relating to the main idea.

Tone and Balance

Overall, this aspect of the article is where I find room for the most improvement. There isn't a feeling of neutrality, and it seems that emotions surround the topic have entered the article. While it might not necessarily attempt to persuade it seems to overrepresent some viewpoints while underrepresenting others.

Sources and References

The sources and references seem to be consistent throughout.

Talk Page

The talk page rates this article as C-class on the Wikipedia's content assessment scale, however, it has been rated low-importance.

Overall

The article overall while substantial is missing important information. Editing is necessary to create consistency among topics as well as highlight more relevant information pertaining to the subject. It has reliable sources yet could include more.
