Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
When reading about the concept, I was shocked to realize how much users over look the simple tasks and functions within a website they use everyday.

Evaluate the article
The lead section is very brief, yet explanatory, only describing the origins of the subject, as well as providing clarification about the meaning of the subject. The content is ample for a Wikipedia article, in providing a definition to explain the overall subject and the social effect of the phenomenon. Other than that, the article could potentially include more examples of ghost work instead within their own subsections. The tone and balance of this article is completely neutral, even when covering controversial topics such as work discrimination. The article is written in a passive voice, which helps avoid bias. The sources from this article are recent and up to date, the earliest being from 2018. Because the original resource from which this subject derived from was released in 2019, it seems as though most of the sources follow in time. Websites are educational and official publication sources. The article does include a grammatical error of an accidentally placed period. The article also uses a phrase, "cultural clout" which is directly cited within the footnotes, but may not be considered professional language. The article does not include any images. I don't believe there are any conversation about this article on the talk page. The article doesn't leave much room for discussion, most likely since content is scant. The article is rated start-class, showing barebones of promise and a good start due to its history. But there is lacking content and perhaps the article can be revised based on the original source Ghost work : how to stop Silicon Valley from building a new global underclass.
