Evaluate an article
Complete your article evaluation below. Here are the key aspects to consider: Lead sectionA good lead section defines the topic and provides a concise overview. A reader who just wants to identify the topic can read the first sentence. A reader who wants a very brief overview of the most important things about it can read the first paragraph. A reader who wants a quick overview can read the whole lead section.
ContentA good Wikipedia article should cover all the important aspects of a topic, without putting too much weight on one part while neglecting another.
Tone and BalanceWikipedia articles should be written from a neutral point of view; if there are substantial differences of interpretation or controversies among published, reliable sources, those views should be described as fairly as possible.
Sources and ReferencesA Wikipedia article should be based on the best sources available for the topic at hand. When possible, this means academic and peer-reviewed publications or scholarly books.
Organization and writing qualityThe writing should be clear and professional, the content should be organized sensibly into sections.
Images and Media
Talk page discussionThe article's talk page — and any discussions among other Wikipedia editors that have been taking place there — can be a useful window into the state of an article, and might help you focus on important aspects that you didn't think of.
Overall impressions
Examples of good feedbackA good article evaluation can take a number of forms. The most essential things are to clearly identify the biggest shortcomings, and provide specific guidance on how the article can be improved. |
Which article are you evaluating
you have chosen this article to evaluate? yes
(Briefly explain why you chose it, why it matters, and what your preliminary impression of it was.)
I have chosen this article because it seems to be related to the project I will be working on in the future. In addition,it provides important information that might contribute to my project somehow. I found this article interesting and organized because it provides citation and important details without getting out of topic.
Evaluate the article
(Compose a detailed evaluation of the article here, considering each of the key aspects listed above. Consider the guiding questions, and check out the examples of what a useful Wikipedia article evaluation looks like.)
Personally, I feel the article is relevant to the topic because it involves different categories that are covered by the broad topic called "Introduced Species." I believe each of these categories highlight important points that must be covered when presenting the introduction of species. Also, the article provides citations and images that provide a better description of the article.
It seems the article presents neutrality. However, based on the comment shown, I can infer it tends to affect its neutrality because it shows a controversial issue in the comments about different points of view defending their argument with cited articles.
