Evaluate the article
The introduction is concise, providing the reader with basic information, without being too long and detailed. Most content is up to date however, there are sections where information can be updated to make it less outdated. All sections in the article were relevant to the topic of the article, the Pantheon. Some sections have more time put into them and are larger with more citations. Mostly the larger sections are dedicated to the more important aspects of the article. However, one of the later sections titled: Catholic Additions, takes away from the topic by involving a lot of information on catholic figures with little importance to the topic. The tone of the article is educational and neutral, and there are no bias for or against what the article is dedicated to. There are few populations represented in the article however, it does not decrease the legitimacy of it as the populations represented are relevant to the topic. All sections have sources that reliable with links to many of the sources in the footnote. There is one instance where there is a "citation needed", so there may be some misinformation in the History section. Some long paragraphs are cited with one citation, where the information comes from one single source. However, the remainder of the citations are from various authors and publications. According to the "Talk" page, this article is a part of five WikiProjects and has 51 pages on content. This leads me to believe that the article is still of importance with various people offering edits. The conversations on the article are about ways in which it can be changed and improved. There are also sections where people are asking others for questions and suggestions. The information in this article is more detailed than what we discuss in class.
