Bugs Bunny

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
For this assignment, I wanted to pick something that would be worthwhile to evaluate, but something I would enjoy reading about. I looked into the list of C-Class articles, and found this one listed under animation and high priority. Bugs Bunny is an important cultural icon and staple of animation, and should have an outstanding article.

Evaluate the article
The lead section is concise and introduces the character, briefly explains his beginnings and impact.

The development section is well developed and includes many links and citations, and is a great overview of both how the character has been developing and what media he has appeared in.

The personality and catchphrases section has a flag indicating the need for more citations. I think the problem is that the primary source to reference in terms of catch phrases and examples of Bugs' personality would be the movie in reference that is linked within the paragraph. Additionally, this section would benefit from some clean-up in terms of readability.

The comics section contains a number of red links that might be worth developing. It might be worthwhile to find an example comic and add an image.

The reception and legacy section could be expanded further, and include a section on Bugs' lasting cultural impact as an animation icon, as the last reference used was from 2002. However, Bugs is still popular to this day, as evidenced by the Space Jam sequel produced in 2021.

Most of the Talk page seems to have resolved issues.

Ones of note include the gender identity of the character, which might be worth expanding upon and perhaps adding under the personality subset. Bugs frequently dons women's costume, and it would be interesting to include this.

There seems to be a lot of controversy regarding a copyright struck parody video and what that might mean for Bugs canon character. However, since the video is clearly a parody (despite the arguments that due to copyright claim it is an official interpretation of the character) I don't believe it has a place in the current article. If a section regarding controversies was added, perhaps this would have a place under that heading, along with the actual canon racism seen in older cartoons.

Overall, it is a good article that could have some minor adjustments to be excellent. Some additions that I mentioned could be added, provided enough credible sources of information.
