Article Evaluation

Ledger

• Is everything in the article relevant to the article topic? Is there anything that distracted you?
  • Everything in the article was relevant to the topic. The article contains a definition, an overview, etymology, and it provided related terms.
• Is the article neutral? Are there any claims, or frames, that appear heavily biased toward a particular position?
  • There article is neutral without a hint of bias. There are no claims made to support any particular position.
• Are there viewpoints that are over represented, or underrepresented?
  • The article is relatively straightforward and covers everything it should.
• Check a few citations. Do the links work? Does the source support the claims in the article?
  • Only one of the citations contains a link that I can access, and another cites a book. One of the cited link's no longer works and leads to a page that does not exist.
•  Is each fact referenced with an appropriate, reliable reference? Where does the information come from? Are these neutral sources? If biased, is that bias noted? 
  • No, the Overview section states a fact without a working citation: when it discusses what a "General Ledger" is. The other citations reference reliable, neutral sources.
• Is any information out of date? Is anything missing that could be added?
  • All the information is up to date. Perhaps an example could be included.
•  Check out the Talk page of the article. What kinds of conversations, if any, are going on behind the scenes about how to represent this topic? 
  • There are four topics discussed in the Talk page; differences with general ledger, examples, credibility of article writer, and the exact meaning of the word. Two of the issues presented in the Talk page seem to have been resolved, as there is a separate page for general ledgers, and the dictionary definition of the word.
• How is the article rated? Is it a part of any WikiProjects?
  • The article is "within the scope of WikiProject Business." It has been rated as Stub-Class on the project's quality scale and as Mid-importance on the project's importance scale.

•  Optional: Choose at least 1 question relevant to the article you're evaluating and leave your evaluation on the article's Talk page. Be sure to sign your feedback with four tildes — ~~~~.
  • I don't really have a question, but rather a statement. There is a need for more citations, many of the terms are not cited.
