| Humour: | 5 | OK, I see what you are trying to do with the humour in this article, but you are struggling in several respects. The first and most notable obstacle to your humour is the coherence of the article. Your train of thought is very difficult to follow as you race from point to point, the best thing to do here would be to abandon the chronological style and use the section names to greater effect. Look through your article, look at the sections and imagine you had no prior grasp of the subject matter and see how easy it is for you to grasp. You should also look at your jokes and consider being a bit less overt with your punchlines. Currently the article adopts an 'in-your-face' style which feels unnecessary in a lot of places. Consider the joke about liberalism being the route to communism, if you didn't explicitly state this then you could make the joke much better. You definitely have the ability to make this much better, and the best advice I can offer you is to make use of HTBFANJS and not to be afraid of asking more experienced editors for help. |
| Concept: | 7 | You have a good concept and it can be made into a solid article. With regard to tone you should make sure that if you are going to use the encyclopaedic tone then you avoid deviating in the article. If the article is supposed to be pro conservative then this can be incorporated appropriately. To do so effectively you need to remove any reference to the reader and also any opinions. As it is at the moment, the article jolts strangely as the tone shifts, make sure you remove these instances. |
| Prose and formatting: | 3 | Alright, this your weakest aspect by a long way (images not withstanding). Firstly, if you are going to write an article about conservative views on the development of liberalism then you should make sure of a couple of things:
1) Get your chronology right. Your history is questionable and confusing, I found it difficult to identify an exact time, which is a problem with an article which guides you through the development of anything. As you are focusing on the US then you should be aware that women's rights were given in the 19th amendment a full 40 years before black's gained any kind of freedom from racial discrimination. Your timeline implies the events are reversed, make sure you rectify this as it is confusing more than anything. 2) Proofread your article carefully and thoroughly, make sure you use the correct words and in the correct places. If doing the proofreading yourself seems dull or you think you won't do the job appropriately then there is help available. Simply place this template: {{Proofread}} onto the page and a member of the proofreading service will be along to help. An alternative method is to visit the UN:PS committee page and leave a message on the talk page of a service member, who may or may not respond to you faster. 3) Make sure that you do not deviate from your point. You make some good jokes and the framework of the article is perfectly fine, but there are a couple of instances where you get bogged down in explaining something and the point suffers as a result. Remember, while jokes should be accessible, you should leave the reader with a little mental leg-work to do and let them make the final leaps in logic. 4) Get some images in! I think your article has heaps of potential and the use of images can go much further toward recognising this aim. More on this below. |
| Images: | 0 | As I said already, images are needed, if you are stuck for ideas then why not consider something like, a picture of Obama for the later sections and maybe a conservapedia logo, something in that vein with an intelligently written caption could add a great deal to this article. Sort it out please! |
| Miscellaneous: | 5 | My overall grade of the article. |
| Final Score: | 20 | This isn't as bad as the score may imply, don't be discouraged by the negative points in the review. If you have the motivation then you can make this article brilliant. Try to take my points to heart, but ultimately it is your decision whether or not to work on this. I'm on hand to help at any time if you need me. Feel free to query review points, offer suggestions, ask for help or guidance and anything else on my talk page. Good luck editing. |
