Lead

Lead evaluation

edit

The lead is at a good starting place, but can use some work. The lead needs to have a better overall generalization of the topic. Should I just read the lead, I would not have a great understanding of what the paper is about. Other than that, good start.

Content

Content evaluation

edit

The content of this article is good and relevant. The information is accurately cited and comes from what I would consider to be recent events. The addition is solid.

Tone and Balance

Tone and balance evaluation

edit

The tone and balance need work. A Wikipedia article must be completely unbiased and statements like "this shows" or "it would be helpful" are subjective and lead readers to a conclusion. Your writing must be written in a completely "matter of fact" way that does not influence a reader one way or the other.

Another thing to note is that you used a lot of run on sentences. This can exhaust readers and draw away from information. Also, there were multiple grammatical errors in regards to verbiage and punctuation.

A side note, I would not recommend using conjunctions in academic writing.
