The Article I will be evaluating is the one about the former American Football Player LaMichael James, found here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LaMichael_James

Answering Questions: Lead Section: Is the lead concise or is it overly detailed? The lead is indeed very concise. It does not go into too much detail, and only really covers the details that stick out about James including a brief overview of his football career at the university of Oregon which is what he is most remembered for.

Content: Is the content up-to-date? The content does not seem to be completely up to date. This is because it does not mention anything about his life outside of football. I know that he recently opened a restaurant of a notorious burger chain in the Portland area called "Killer Burger", and I could add that information to the article.

Tone And Balance: Is the article neutral? This article definitely seems to be neutral in tone. It does not state any opinions about James as a player, and it comes across as very informational instead of biased in any way.

Sources and References: Check a few links. Do they work? I checked a few articles and not all of them work. I think this is because some of the links are older (before 2012) and others are from sporting websites that don't take you directly to the source but instead to their homepage.

Organization and Writing Quality: Is the article well-organized - i.e. broken down into sections that reflect the major points of the topic? Yes the article is broken down into sections, but I don't think these sections are completely reflective of all of James' life. It kind of glosses over his life pre and post football. This is where I believe I could definitely add some information to round out the article.

Images and Media: Does the article include images that enhance understanding of the topic? Once again the article does include pictures but only two of them that take place in his mid twenties, which in my opinion is not very reflective of the contributions he made to the game of football, as well as his community in both Eugene and Portland Oregon.

Talk Page Discussion: What kinds of conversations, if any, are going on behind the scenes about how to represent this topic? I searched the web but I could not find any wiki talks pages about James at all.

Overall Impressions: How would you assess the article's completeness - i.e. Is the article well-developed? Is it underdeveloped or poorly developed? Overall I would say that this article is developed decently well. Though as I mentioned earlier the only parts of the article that go into depth are relating to his time in college for the Oregon ducks as well as his brief stint in the NFL. If I were to add on to this article I would talk more about his early life, as well as his life outside of football. Lborchardt2003 (talk) 21:58, 6 April 2022 (UTC)
