Barber

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 am a professionally licensed barber so I figured it would be fun to evaluate the page on barbering. Initially I feel like the article does a good job explaining what a barber is.

I feel like the lead does a good job introducing barbering. It keeps the definition simple and you get a gist of what the whole article will be about. It contains enough information to read and move on but also leaves the reader engaged to read more.

The content is solid. I feel like it's up to date within the last 5-10 years and covers a lot of basic info. It does feel like there are missing pieces. The flow of the article feels choppy and a little jumbled. While the information seems accurate, it doesn't tie together and almost seems sporadic.

The sources look to be relevant and good sources.

The images add to article and I like the representation that they give.

The talk page is interesting. There is a ton of extra information on barbering but it hasn't made it into the article, which do not have any sources. The page also hasn't been active for a long time.
