Tone and Balance

edit

Guiding questions:

  • Is the content added neutral? For the most part, yes.
  • Are there any claims that appear heavily biased toward a particular position? The testimonials from Simon Fraser University and the professional wrestler followed by comments like "beloved baked good to many all over the nation" seem to lean towards an argumentative tone of convincing readers of how good the donut is.
  • Are there viewpoints that are overrepresented, or underrepresented? The opinion of how good the donut is overrepresented, while details about how the donut is made and if it is beloved by other countries is underrepresented.
  • Does the content added attempt to persuade the reader in favor of one position or away from another? It seems to be written to argue how good the donut is.

Organization

edit

Guiding questions:

  • Is the content added well-written - i.e. Is it concise, clear, and easy to read? Yes.
  • Does the content added have any grammatical or spelling errors? Yes.
  • Is the content added well-organized - i.e. broken down into sections that reflect the major points of the topic? There's a lot of good content that would be easier to follow along if it were organized in sections. For example, a majority of the info could be in a History section, while content pertaining specifically to the state of Massachusetts could have its own "State of Massachusetts Donut" section, or something similar.

For New Articles Only (N/A)

edit

If the draft you're reviewing is a new article, consider the following in addition to the above.

  • Does the article meet Wikipedia's Notability requirements - i.e. Is the article supported by 2-3 reliable secondary sources independent of the subject?
  • How exhaustive is the list of sources? Does it accurately represent all available literature on the subject?
  • Does the article follow the patterns of other similar articles - i.e. contain any necessary info boxes, section headings, and any other features contained within similar articles?

Overall impressions

edit

Guiding questions:

  • Has the content added improved the overall quality of the article - i.e. Is the article more complete? Yes, the article is definitely much more complete. The content added has given the article much more weight and substance.
  • What are the strengths of the content added? Strengths include the mouth-watering images, and the in-depth compelling information added pertaining to the history of the donut.
  • How can the content added be improved? The content just needs to be organized into a History section, separate from the Intro section. The details and debate pertaining to Massachusetts should have its own section as well since there is significant information on it. And if there is another section that just talks about how the donut is manufactured and produced, that's a point of view that would give this article more richness.
