Evaluate the article
Lead Section: The lead section effectively introduces the topic, stating, "People skills are patterns of behavior and behavioral interactions, among people." However, it lacks an outline of the article's major sections. The lead is concise and does not include information not present in the article.

Content: The content is relevant and up-to-date, covering definitions, examples, and the importance of people skills. However, it could benefit from more specific examples, recent studies, and perspectives on how people skills are valued in different cultures and among marginalized groups.

Tone and Balance: The article maintains a neutral tone, presenting information factually without bias. It does not attempt to persuade the reader and could include more diverse perspectives to provide a comprehensive understanding.

Sources and References: Most facts are backed by reliable sources, but the article could use more peer-reviewed studies to enhance credibility. The sources are current but could benefit from including more recent research and diverse authors.

Organization and Writing Quality: The article is clear, concise, and free of grammatical errors. It is well-organized but could benefit from a section on the historical development of people skills to provide a more comprehensive understanding.

Images and Media: The article lacks images, which could enhance understanding. Adding relevant images that adhere to copyright regulations would improve the article's visual appeal.

Talk Page Discussion: There is limited discussion on the talk page. Engaging more in discussions about representation and completeness could be helpful. The article is not highly rated and is part of a few WikiProjects. Improving its quality rating and including more detailed examples and case studies would align it better with academic discussions.

Overall Impressions: The article on "People skills" is in good condition but could be improved. Strengths include clear writing, relevant content, and a neutral tone. To improve the article, we can include major section descriptions in the lead, add specific examples and case studies, incorporate different perspectives, use more peer-reviewed sources, and add images. The article is moderately developed but could be expanded for better completeness.
