Article Evaluation

[edit]

The article details management information system, its history, application in management, advantages, and related terminologies. All the information contained in the article is relevant to the topic. Having divided the article into subsections, it is easy to note that all areas discussed relate to the topic. However, the section detailing development distracted me. The information in this section was confusing because it states the actions needed to create an information system. However, the actions are not explained at all. To understand those actions, one has to follow links that lead to lengthy and detailed pages.

The article is educative and offers factual information. As an educative article, it is impossible to take sides. Rather, it provides the same information that readers can get from other sources. It does not make any claims that favor or disapprove the topic. However, the article fails to present the disadvantages of management information systems. Just like it has listed the advantages, it would have been important for it to least the drawbacks. Nonetheless, I consider the article to be neutral.

The article has numerous links that are working. Of all the links that I have opened, they lead to other Wikipedia pages. The sources support the information presented in this article. The only drawback with some of the links is that they direct to pages with handful information. Some of the sources are two or three paragraphs long. However, the little information contained therein supports this article. Regarding references, not all facts are based on reliable references. For example, it is impossible to locate reference number four. There is no web address or other information provided to help the reader access the entire reference. Similarly, reference nine is a blog and the credibility of such a source cannot be established. As for the other references, they are books, journal articles, and websites that I consider reliable.

Good points about the lack of citations to reliable sources, Charlene_1022. --- FULBERT (talk) 14:10, 11 February 2018 (UTC)
