Which article are you evaluating?
Jade

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 chose it because it is my favourite mineral. Jade means a lot in Chinese culture and I have worn the same jade piece for almost a decade for good luck. My preliminary impression was simply that it was green or white and came in a whole spectrum of those colours. It is good fortune to wear and supposedly, it gets more green the more you wear it.

The introduction was pretty good and concise; it summarized the key points of the article. One sentence for what the symbolism of jade is should be added for a small improvement. The article covered the history of Jade in many different countries which was interesting. However, more modern techniques and information of how it is used in the modern day was lacking. The history section was also varied in quality within each country (which made sense as some countries have more sources). There were a ton of sources for each topic, all from reputable sources such as museums/universities. A lot of the citations do not have links, however, so it is unknown how legit of a source they actually are.

There were headings for each point and subheadings for points which made the article easy to navigate. The writing was clear overall. The images made sense for each context. Jade has so much variety in type and texture depending on where it is from, so more photos (especially at least 1 from each subheading) would allow nicer read for the viewer. The gallery could also be added to as there were only 5 photos.

Overall, the article was solid. It was clear in what content it thought was most important for jade and went in depth for it. More depth in other topics within jade could be added for improvements. More photos could also be added. The article definitely seems complete and does not need much more assistance, but still could benefit from more content.
