All the article´s content is relevant to the topic. That means the main topic is the Galactic Empire of Star Wars, and that´s all that is written there. All the content that appears in the article is from the last updates of the saga, which makes this one a reliable one. All the important information is located there, other information that would be added to the article won't be necessary. Those are fictional topics about sci-fi movies, so basically there´s not underrepresented populations or topics in this article, based on real-life things. All the topics that are explained in the article are good information.

All the facts in this article are backed up by reliable sources of information, there are books, international newspapers, interviews with the movie producers and directors. All they reflect the available literature on the topic. Most of the references that are used in the article are on a date, they´re from this year, 2019, and recent years in the decade of 2010 to 2020. Most of the links in the references work, so if you want to know where the writers get that information you´re more than welcome in those websites.

  • Does the article have any grammatical or spelling errors?
  • Is the article well-organized - i.e. broken down into sections that reflect the major points of the topic?

Organization evaluation:

The article is weel-written but if your not a fan of the Star Wars universe you will need to read a little more in other wikipedia pages to understand some little facts, other than that it´s understandable. In all the reading that I do, I don´t find a grammatical error, it´s good written. This articles is also really oprganized. It´s divided in different sections, it´s more easy to read and to understand the information in that way.

  • Does the article include images that enhance understanding of the topic?
  • Are images well-captioned?
  • Do all images adhere to Wikipedia's copyright regulations?
  • Are the images laid out in a visually appealing way?

Images and media evaluation:

The article includes images but in my personal opinion, I think it should include more, images like the main characters and figures of this empire would be very important for people to understand. The only three images that are included in the article are well-captioned. All the images that are included in this article are in the public domain so they adhere to Wikipedia´s copyright regulations. The three images that the article presents are visually appealing, this makes the reader stop and read about them.

Conversations on the Talk page of this article is about changes that users have made and information they think it should be added. This article is a C-class article and is part of the Star Wars WikiProjects, also it has been rated a High-importance project. In Wikipedia, you write facts because of the references you got and people that are working in the same case can change what you post, in class you do your part of the job and the one who is gonna see if it´s good or wrong is the professor. Also in Wikipedia, users from all around the world, post and compare themes like the Galactic Empire of Star Wars with Hitler´s Empire in WWII, in class the professor gave you the topic, the definitions and maybe compare that with other things but that´s it.

Overall impressions

Guiding questions
  • What is the article's overall status?
  • What are the article's strengths?
  • How can the article be improved?
  • How would you assess the article's completeness - i.e. Is the article well-developed? Is it underdeveloped or poorly developed?

Overall evaluation:

This article is still incomplete, it needs more improvement in the information that we can find over there. Even though the information in the article is very good, they still need to improve some little things to complete this article. The main strengths of the article are the facts using movie dialogues, figures, even though using the Star Wars universe creator, George Lucas, interviews about details of the Galactic Empire. It includes the beginning of the empire, their ideas, the most powerful figures in the entire government of this new empire. This article is almost complete but it can be improved including images and also the information on how the empire comes to an end after the war against the Rebels. This article is well-developed but not in a perfect way. Some details will make this the perfect article, as I say in the last sentence more images and more details about the ending of this empire will take this article to one of the best on the internet.
