Lead

Lead evaluation

• The lead is a well-developed summary of this sociology theory. It has clearly described the article's topic with a concise language.
• However, the article's major sections cannot be recognized from the lead.

Content

Content evaluation

• Content added is up-to-date and is relevant to the topic.
• I'm sure you are working on finding more resource for your article. You may want to look into both the Google Scholar and databases listed on the UW library website. Newspaper and other forms of non-academic media source might also help.

Tone and Balance

Tone and balance evaluation

• So far, the content added is neutral. None of the claims appear to be heavily biased, nor do they attempt to persuade the reader in favor of one position or away from another.

Sources and References

Sources and references evaluation

• The new content added is from current, reliable sources. I clicked on all of the links listed in the reference section, and all of them are working just fine.
• To add more dimensions, you could see whether any of the non-academic articles, like news articles published on NYT or The Guardian, have ever quoted this theory.

Organization

Organization evaluation

• A brief introduction of the authors would be good. However, it appears that your "Origins of Research" is already a formal summary to the theory. The name "Origins of Research" doesn't make much sense to me. Or are you planning on write how the theory has been revisted in different papers later?
• You could check wiki articles of other soc theories or traditions to see how they are organized.

Images and Media

Images and media evaluation

• It can be hard to add images and media for an academic-focused article like this one. Graphs and other visualizations from the academic literature might be helpful.
• You can also put photos of the authors of related papers in.

Overall impressions

Overall evaluation

• The content added improved the overall quality of the article.
• It could be hard to write an article about an academic theory like this one. But it seems you have a solid knowledge of the theory. Good work!
