My selected article to do an article critique is for the Urban Dictionary Wiki page. I found this article under Technology in Society category.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urban_Dictionary
The purpose of this article is to inform users on the website, Urban Dictionary, an online slang dictionary. The article does a good job of organising itself so that users are able to understand the information. First, the history of the website is laid out so that one can understand how the website came to be and some of the issues it overcame. Next was the content of the website, where the Wiki page explained that its dictionary is being updated constantly as users can create new definitions for slang. It also explained the problems of a large audience of users adding information as some of it was incorrect, requiring checks to be made. Then the Wiki talked about Usage and how much more popular the website has become. It also mentions here the audience type for Urban Dictionary. Lastly, the website talks about Application and how Urban Dictionary has been used in a wide variety of cases.
The article does cite all its sources with these sections and does an excellent job to stay on topic without becoming derailed. However, there are some grammar issues throughout the page and some specific details should be expanded on as the article remain relatively short.
