Article: Convergence_culture The lead sets up this article well with enough information to understand an overview of what the topic actually is and means. The content in this article is well related to the topic. Examples that are given all relate back to the topic themselves. Most of the content is up-to-date with sources that are no more than ten years old. There are however a couple of sources that are older than ten years like sources 3, 10, and 11, but the information used is relevant. Each fact is all appropriately cited with reliable sources provided. There could be more specifics about media technology and convergence to help with more examples of the topic for a clearer understanding, but the majority remains useful. The article is neutral with no particular bias. Some viewpoints such as talking about specific technologies could use a little more depth and detail to help understand specific ideas and examples. The sources come from credible journals and books with no specific bias. There are multiple sources used that are coming from the same author, but the author is a professional within the field of communications and relations with this topic. The article includes at least one citation for each paragraph in which almost every sentence is referenced to a source. All sources are linked and are accessible. The information used from the first source referenced in this article is used many times throughout the entire article while all the other sources are primarily only used once. There is probably some more information that could be included from the other sources. For the most part, the article is well-written, but there were a few parts that needed to be read a couple of times in order to understand the clear meaning. The article does have minor grammatical errors such as missing commas, missing or unnecessary spaces between sentences, and a few misused words. The sections the article is broken up into are clear and well-organized and all relate to the topic and what was described in the lead. This article doesn't include images, but it could possibly use some images like diagrams to help demonstrate certain occurrences of media convergence. For certain points to the topic adding images could help enhance the understanding. There are no conversations for this article on the talk page. The article has not been rated, but it is a part of a few WikiProjects. Overall, this article is helpful when trying to understand the topic of convergence culture. The sources that are used for the information described in the article are very helpful when wanted to learn more about this topic. Some improvements can be made by adding more examples of the topic to help expand on the information and help make things more clear. For the most part, I would consider this article well-developed.
