Overall impressions

Guiding questions

  • How would you assess the article's completeness - i.e. Is the article well-developed? Is it underdeveloped or poorly developed? Slightly underdeveloped.

Overall evaluation

[edit]

I believe the article to be most of the way complete, for it being a smaller topic the information represents that well and gives almost all the information needed. However a lot of the information can be found to be presented in a way that is more positive then neutral which could prevent the reader from making their own thoughts and conclusions.
