Evaluate an article
[edit]This is where you will complete your article evaluation. Please use the template below to evaluate your selected article.
- Name of article: Hilda Dianda
- Briefly describe why you have chosen this article to evaluate.
Lead
[edit]I've chosen this article because her page is small despite her contributions to electronic music.
- Guiding questions
- Does the Lead include an introductory sentence that concisely and clearly describes the article's topic?
- Does the Lead include a brief description of the article's major sections?
- Does the Lead include information that is not present in the article?
- Is the Lead concise or is it overly detailed?
Lead evaluation
[edit]The introduction describes Hilda Dianda fairly concisely, but may arguably minimize her contributions to electronic music in particular. Her introduction is only one sentence long. Daphne Oram in comparison has a very concise little paragraph introducing her.
Content
[edit]- Guiding questions
- Is the article's content relevant to the topic?
- Is the content up-to-date?
- Is there content that is missing or content that does not belong?
Content evaluation
[edit]The list of categories does not encompass Dianda's work. The list of her work does not mention electronic works composed by Dianda such as Dos estudios en oposición (1959). There is a timeline describing her migration from place to place but it does not describe what she made where.
Tone and Balance
[edit]- Guiding questions
- Is the article neutral?
- Are there any claims that appear heavily biased toward a particular position?
- Are there viewpoints that are overrepresented, or underrepresented?
- Does the article attempt to persuade the reader in favor of one position or away from another?
Tone and balance evaluation
[edit]The article is neutral.
Sources and References
[edit]- Guiding questions
- Are all facts in the article backed up by a reliable secondary source of information?
- Are the sources thorough - i.e. Do they reflect the available literature on the topic?
- Are the sources current?
- Check a few links. Do they work?
Sources and references evaluation
[edit]The links work and are reliable. A quick Google search reveals that while still few, there are a couple more resources that can be referenced in this article. It seems there is a novel written about Dianda which would be nice to see included.
The earliest source is from the 90s.
A citation is missing.
Organization
[edit]- Guiding questions
- Is the article well-written - i.e. Is it concise, clear, and easy to read?
- Does the article have any grammatical or spelling errors?
- Is the article well-organized - i.e. broken down into sections that reflect the major points of the topic?
Organization evaluation
[edit]Easy to read. It is not broken down into as many sections as it could be.
Images and Media
[edit]- Guiding questions
- Does the article include images that enhance understanding of the topic?
- Are images well-captioned?
- Do all images adhere to Wikipedia's copyright regulations?
- Are the images laid out in a visually appealing way?

[edit]There are no images or media included in the article despite availibility.
Checking the talk page
[edit]- Guiding questions
- What kinds of conversations, if any, are going on behind the scenes about how to represent this topic?
- How is the article rated? Is it a part of any WikiProjects?
- How does the way Wikipedia discusses this topic differ from the way we've talked about it in class?
Talk page evaluation
[edit]The article is listed as a Stub because it is so short. It is in many "Low importance" categories such as Low-importance Latin music articles, Low-importance Women's History articles, and Low-importance Argentine articles. It is of interest to 5 Wiki Projects.
Overall impressions
[edit]- Guiding questions
- What is the article's overall status?
- What are the article's strengths?
- How can the article be improved?
- How would you assess the article's completeness - i.e. Is the article well-developed? Is it underdeveloped or poorly developed?
Overall evaluation
[edit]The article is lacking. It's strength lies in its tone and balance. The article can be improved by creating a section for personal life and a section for her life in regards to her work, and by expanding on information already included in the article.
