Article Evaluation
[edit]The article i am evaluating is video game
Content
[edit]The content in the article is relevant and is broken it to specific sections. There was some distractions in the article due to its length and broad spectrum that it covers. the article summarized many other articles and links to more specific reading on most sections. Some sections like the serious game section is longer then the article it is pointing to and could either be shortened or replace the serious game article. Some sections don't flow between paragraphs and can be difficult to read.
Tone
[edit]The tone of the article is non biased in many sections but some do show biases. In the section about behavioral effects it leans more to the positive effects that video games have and glosses over more of the negative effects on health.
Sources
[edit]Most sources are non biased and are from independent reviewers or scholar papers. There are some articles that link to news medias and politically motivated but they are used appropriately. Many sources are out of date and are viewed using archive.org.
Talk Page
[edit]Due to the nature of the article it was subject to mass vandalism and now caries the semi protected status. Due to the fact the article is mostly completed there is not much activity in the talk page. It is part of 15 wiki projects and is of top priority in most of them. A large amount of what is active on the talk page are dead end edit requests. It is rated as a class B article and is a level 3 vital article in the life category.
