Feedback on Article Evaluation
I wanted to offer you a little feedback on your article evaluation.

You do a very good job of analyzing some of the limitations of the article: significant material is without citations and has been flagged for needing citations; there's too much focus on ranking specific events rather than providing information about games in general; and too much information is sourced from highland games websites, which may be biased. It's important to consider what kind of content is provided and where it comes from. I appreciate that you didn't simply identify the lack of citations (since this is probably true of most article that are ranked C-class or lower). Instead, you identified several issues. These are all very fair critiques and you can certainly do something to improve these parts of the article.

There are a couple of things I would suggest would improve your evaluation. The first is a small point: the instructions tell you to provide a link to the article you evaluated. It's important to learn how to create links in Wikipedia, and it's also important to provide a link so that I can be sure to go to the correct article.

The second is a larger point: you don't seem to have responded to all the criteria to consider when evaluating a Wikipedia article, which are listed above your evaluation. You may not have much to say about certain aspects, and that's fine. But it would be appropriate to acknowledge run through the criteria to ensure that you have thought about the strengths and weaknesses of the article from a number of angles. Here's my own evaluation of a Wikipedia article, in case it's useful as a model. CBFraoch (talk) 14:35, 11 November 2023 (UTC)
