Analysis Assignment

Article 1: Rowing

Audience and Purpose

The article is supposed to "deal with the more general types of rowing [...] rather than the sport of competitive rowing" as claimed in the lead. This article is an informative article that I think aims to provide the reader (someone with very basic knowledge of rowing) with the basics on the subject. The purpose of this article is clear at the beginning but becomes vague as the article goes on. At first, the article included some general information on the types of rowing systems and its origin (addressing the uninformed audience). But then, the article moves into some very specific facts/information (no longer general information) and thus, it addressed a very different audience. Thus, the articles will need some work on its content in relation to the purpose. From the talk history, there was a discussion on what to include in the article and they decided to disregard the sport aspect because it is in another article. Moreover, there were some requests to add more information on various topics but no one was willing to take that step because none of the editors were experts on the topic. All recent edit focused on minor things not content related.

Challenges and Points of Concern

The organization of the article needs a lot of work
The content of the article must be reviewed to match the purpose
The content must be reviewed to match the audience of the article
The lead needs to be reviewed and edited
The article needs more sources/references
Some sections of the article are very dense and it contains too many details --> it would be better to divide it up into different sections that way more content can be included and it opens up more opportunities for other editors to be involved.
