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: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Yasseenhanafy/Evaluate_an_Article?veaction=edit&preload=Template%3ADashboard.wikiedu.org_evaluate_article
 * I have chosen this article to evaluate as it relates both to the course and to the world's current situation. The pandemic has resulted in countless huge changes and has impacted the social lives of millions all around the globe and therefore resulted in a shift between physical socializing to digital socializing.

Lead
The lead includes an introductory sentence that concisely and clearly describes the article's topic. The first sentence not only describes what the topic, but also mentions some of the sections that are in the article. The lead briefly describes multiple of the major sections in the article, however it is missing a couple major topics with no introduction or description. The lead is short and concise but it brings up a certain point that is not discussed enough or even explained at all later in the article. Moreover, it is not detailed or descriptive enough. It left out a couple major topics, and could ave explained the mentioned topics with stronger introductions.

Content

 * The article's content is relevant to the topic as the author explains all the major topics introduced in the lead and has made the appropriate connections with the main topic of the article. Given that the topic of the article is one that is of recent times, the content is still applicable and is up-to-date. However, there is more to it than the article claims. There is content missing with some of the major topics in the article. The content of this article is all relevant to the topic and belongs where it is, nonetheless, there could be much more added to what the author has written to further deepen the reader's understanding on the topic. There are examples and references but ones that are easy to research and may even be considered common knowledge.

Tone and Balance
The article is neutral as it does not argue for a certain side and is merely stating facts based on research. Therefore there are no claims that appear heavily biased toward a particular position. The article seems nicely balanced overall. This means most of the ideas have the same amount of representation in article apart from one which may be a little underrepresented, at the end of the article. The article does not attempt to persuade the reader in favor of any position. The writer does not express his position on the matter nor does he/she imply it in any way.

Sources and References

 * Are all facts in the article backed up by a reliable secondary source of information?
 * Are the sources thorough - i.e. Do they reflect the available literature on the topic?
 * Are the sources current?
 * Are the sources written by a diverse spectrum of authors? Do they include historically marginalized individuals where possible?
 * Check a few links. Do they work?

Organization
Overall, the article is written fairly well. It is concise, makes clear points and arguments, and is easy to read. The article does not have any grammatical or spelling errors. The organization of the article is well structured. It is includes headers and sub-headers to make the major points clear and easy to find. It is broken down into sections that makes it available for the reader to go back and forth on any section they want to look over.

Images and Media
The article includes one image that is used for an example, and not the purpose of enhancing the understanding of the topic. The image is small and positioned at the side of the page where it is difficult to spot.

Checking the talk page
There are conversations on the talk page regarding sources, and previous content that seems to have been removed from the article. Some are arguing that the article does not have enough evidence to back up a couple points made in the lead as well as not enough information that is presented in the main ideas of the article.

Overall impressions

 * Guiding questions

The article's overall status is good. It is written well, the main ideas are appropriate and connect to the topic and the it well organized and structured. The strengths of the article are the sections that divide the main ideas and prioritize them as seen by the order in which they are placed. The article can be improved by simply adding more information and explanations to the main ideas. It is underdeveloped considering how important and relevant the topic is in the world today. There is a lot more to be discussed even within the mentioned ideas in the article, there could be more to add on to highlight the importance of the topic.
