![]() | 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.

Which article are you evaluating?
Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
We chose Halluci Nation because we have studied this musical group throughout our entire class. They are important because they find their niche in Indigenous Futurisms through their music and the imagery within their video. My preliminary impression is that the article is in depth and discusses their entire history as a group with their discography and impacts included.
Evaluate the article
Content: The Halluci Nation is well described within this article. While there are some foreign concepts and terms used in this article, each of the words are linked and help the reader understand. By going in depth with their information, the reader is able to understand the group, their origins, and their discography through the years that has helped them in their activism efforts.
Tone: The article is very neutral in nature. The authors are simply providing information about the group and what they stand for rather than guiding the reader towards stating if they're in favor or against their activism. Overall, the tone for this article is exactly what a reader should expect.
Sources: The article has a variety of sources that help the reader understand foreign terms and concepts. The reader can understand various genres of music, albums from The Halluci Nation, or awards they have won through the sources available. There are more opportunities for sources regarding terminology used, but this is already a sources-heavy article.
Talk Page: The talk page of this article has not been touched since 2018. This seems to be a very outdated section of this article and could use some more edits from future wikipedia editors. It has been rated a low importance article and could use more detail or impact statements towards indigenous futurisms to provide more impact.
