Evaluate an article
Complete your article evaluation below. Here are the key aspects to consider: Lead sectionA good lead section defines the topic and provides a concise overview. A reader who just wants to identify the topic can read the first sentence. A reader who wants a very brief overview of the most important things about it can read the first paragraph. A reader who wants a quick overview can read the whole lead section.
ContentA good Wikipedia article should cover all the important aspects of a topic, without putting too much weight on one part while neglecting another.
Tone and BalanceWikipedia articles should be written from a neutral point of view; if there are substantial differences of interpretation or controversies among published, reliable sources, those views should be described as fairly as possible.
Sources and ReferencesA Wikipedia article should be based on the best sources available for the topic at hand. When possible, this means academic and peer-reviewed publications or scholarly books.
Organization and writing qualityThe writing should be clear and professional, the content should be organized sensibly into sections.
Images and Media
Talk page discussionThe article's talk page — and any discussions among other Wikipedia editors that have been taking place there — can be a useful window into the state of an article, and might help you focus on important aspects that you didn't think of.

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose it because I am interested in the development of new programming languages. This programming language in particular interests me because it seems to fill a particular niche.
Evaluate the article
The article is good short introduction to F*; it is short and concise and lets the reader know what F* is about. However, past this section, it is bare. The article is completely relevant to the F* programming language. However, the article does not include updated information. For instance, several changes have been implemented in subsequent versions of the programming language as shown on GitHub. There are no apparent equity gaps and article seems neutral. Furthermore, information regarding projects involving F* are not included.
The references appear reputable and the links are functional. There is a good number of sources given that there is limited information on the topic; It seems that the article uses the best sources available.
The organization is proper given that there is only an introduction and a history section (more should be added). There are no spelling errors and it is grammatically correct. There are no images.
The article is rated as "stub-class." It is part of the WikiProject Computing project. There are no Wikipedia discussions going on about this topic.
I think this page should be continued to be developed with information on the different versions and use cases being added. Overall, this article is not complete. However, it does offer a good introduction to the language.
