Article Evaluation

The Wikipedia page that I chose is called Being Human (North American Tv Series). As I scrolled through the page I noticed a ton of things that could be added as well as fixed. A positive to the page was that all the information on it was relevant to the article topic. Nothing on the page really distracts you from the main idea of the page, which is to inform viewers of what exactly the show is about. The article is neutral in the sense that it gives a brief summary of all the main characters in the show as well a brief 2 to 3 sentences describing recurring cast members. Due to the fact that this page is about a tv series and is also underdeveloped, there are no clear signs of bias within the information provided. Within the page there are neutral viewpoints of the characters and the production and development information of the tv series. At moments, you can see certain characters weren’t really discussed in depth as the others but that could be due to lack of interest or the person who edited the page didn’t finish. Besides that, the page looks for the most part even in the since that there was no personal feelings shown through the works. Moving on to a different topic, as I scrolled down and viewed the page I saw tons of hyperlinks and citations within the information. I clicked on several of them and they all led to the designated page that they were supposed to. The sources supported there claims because if you clicked on them they were accurate in the information they were providing. Each fact was referenced appropriately, with that being said there wasn’t really a lot of room for error since the page is underdeveloped like I said earlier in the paragraph. The links for the information given on this Wikipedia page are backed up by sources that are also linked to Wikipedia. Majority of these people referenced are known and have a decent page with information about them and their successes. All the information on the page have links but some of them date back to 2010, which is 8 years prior from today. The most recent edit to this page was done on February 3rd, 2018, so not too long ago, which means the page has been updated but not thoroughly. Lastly, as I viewed the page I saw certain things that I would add to. One being the characters section. The person who created the page did a good job of providing the gist of who the characters are but missed out on a lot of the details that would make it way more descriptive. Also, I would create a section and describe the plots of each season, that way the viewers are informed about what exactly happens throughout each season if they choose not to watch them in order. When I clicked on the talk page, there was a box saying that the page needed a plot summary because it was lacking one, so I would add that as well.CD124 (talk) 20:24, 18 March 2018 (UTC)
