Article Evaluation - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pete_Maravich

The information in this article is relevant given it is all information about the life of Pete Maravich. There is a lot of detail in this article about Pete's early life, giving readers context for what led him to a career in basketball. The article reveals many details of his early life as well as his college and NBA careers. This includes his high school days, the creation of his nickname, and his accolades achieved throughout his career. Although the article is very informative, at times it sounds a bit biased, stating that because Maravich played before the creation of the 3-point line, he was at a disadvantage and his record of most points scored in a college career would be higher if he played in today's era. The links on the reference page are both functional and credible, and thoroughly support the claims made in the article.

Many people on the talk page discuss the fact that the article was originally written very poorly with misspelled words and cut and paste sentences. However, many of these people explain that they have since fixed these issues making the article much more reader friendly. Also, a couple of users agreed that some of the article sounded biased in some way.
