 | 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.
Overall impressions
Examples of good feedbackA good article evaluation can take a number of forms. The most essential things are to clearly identify the biggest shortcomings, and provide specific guidance on how the article can be improved. |

The lead is good because it starts with an basic introduction to the meaning of Music Theory and then goes more into the parts of music theory, however it does not talk about what is upcoming in-depth. The content of this article talks about all parts of music theory including history, fundamentals of music, and uses in todays scenes. This article talks about all every history with music theory including history that's more unknown. The article is natural in nature and represents every history equally, and does not focus on one history more then anything else. Many of the facts are backed up by sources and links to other Wikipedia articles by different users which do work. The article is pretty well organized having history and fundamentals being separated and history being sorted by time. The article uses images and media very well, for example using images to show music notation to describe chords and melody's, all imagery and media adhere to copyright regulations. this article is rated B-class and is within the scope of WikiProject Music Theory, in the talk page users are talking about different theory's and more detailed explanations. This Article is really good for talking about the history and fundamentals, however it could probably go more in depth about what the article is about in the first few paragraphs, and this article feel well-developed.
