Evaluate an article
This is where you will complete your article evaluation. Please use the template below to evaluate your selected article.


 * Name of article: List of K-pop on the Billboard year-end charts
 * Briefly describe why you have chosen this article to evaluate.
 * I chose this article because I've been very intrigued by the rise of K-Pop, especially in the last few years, and I have a lot of related cultural pride as I am Korean-American. K-Pop is putting my tiny country on the map and I want to learn as much as I can about it.

Lead

 * Guiding questions


 * Does the Lead include an introductory sentence that concisely and clearly describes the article's topic?
 * Yes
 * Does the Lead include a brief description of the article's major sections?
 * Yes
 * Does the Lead include information that is not present in the article?
 * No, it includes all relevant information
 * Is the Lead concise or is it overly detailed?
 * Concise!

Lead evaluation
The lead contains all the information needed to summarize the information that the article offers in succinct terms.

Content

 * Guiding questions


 * Is the article's content relevant to the topic?
 * Yes
 * Is the content up-to-date?
 * Very! It includes all relevant content despite information on the topic only being accessible as of a few months ago.
 * Is there content that is missing or content that does not belong?
 * No

Content evaluation
As all of the content in this article is fact and based on a Billboard chart, it can be verified as accurate and it all seems as up-to-date as possible.

Tone and Balance

 * Guiding questions


 * Is the article neutral?
 * Yes, it consists entirely of chart positions and does not contain any opinionated statements.
 * Are there any claims that appear heavily biased toward a particular position?
 * No
 * Are there viewpoints that are overrepresented, or underrepresented?
 * No
 * Does the article attempt to persuade the reader in favor of one position or away from another?
 * No

Tone and balance evaluation
Very neutral and factual; no extraneous, unrelated, or biased information.

Sources and References

 * Guiding questions


 * Are all facts in the article backed up by a reliable secondary source of information?
 * Yes, they all come from a concrete Billboard chart.
 * Are the sources thorough - i.e. Do they reflect the available literature on the topic?
 * Yes. Though the article is about Billboard chart positions, they also cite outside charts or articles about the individual artists' successes.
 * Are the sources current?
 * Yes
 * Check a few links. Do they work?
 * Yes!

Sources and references evaluation
Everything seems in order and well-substantiated.

Organization

 * Guiding questions


 * Is the article well-written - i.e. Is it concise, clear, and easy to read?
 * Yes, it's all clear. Because the entire article is essentially charts, it does get pretty dry and uninteresting to look at/read, but it does serve the exact purpose of the article.
 * Does the article have any grammatical or spelling errors?
 * No
 * Is the article well-organized - i.e. broken down into sections that reflect the major points of the topic?
 * Yes

Organization evaluation
Well structured. If Wikipedia allowed it, I think seeing more charts sitting side-by-side (rather than stacked), would make it a little easier to digest, but this isn't the fault of any of the editors.

Images and Media

 * Guiding questions


 * Does the article include images that enhance understanding of the topic?
 * Yes
 * Are images well-captioned?
 * Yes
 * Do all images adhere to Wikipedia's copyright regulations?
 * Yes
 * Are the images laid out in a visually appealing way?
 * Somewhat (see earlier comments).

Images and media evaluation
All images are currently well organized and appropriately-selected. In my opinion, the article could use a few more images of other K-Pop artists. As of right now, the article only contains one image of BTS despite the fact that the article names at least ten different K-Pop groups.

Checking the talk page

 * Guiding questions


 * What kinds of conversations, if any, are going on behind the scenes about how to represent this topic?
 * No conversations
 * How is the article rated? Is it a part of any WikiProjects?
 * It's rated List-Class and is a part of WikiProject Lists, WikiProject Songs, and WikiProject Korea
 * How does the way Wikipedia discusses this topic differ from the way we've talked about it in class?
 * It's not exactly related to our class (I had trouble finding pages that were directly related to Women in Electronic Music or even just Women in Music), and this page is primarily just a list so it's hard to say. It's very factual and gets to the point, though!

Talk page evaluation
N/A

Overall impressions

 * Guiding questions


 * What is the article's overall status?

 * How can the article be improved?
 * More visually appealing, add images or some more text to break up all of the tables/charts.
 * How would you assess the article's completeness - i.e. Is the article well-developed? Is it underdeveloped or poorly developed?
 * Well-developed. I don't know what else could be added!

All is well, aside from the visual aspects.
