Name of article: Dragon Age: Inquisition
This is one of my favorite video games and I was curious to see what information would be on the WIkipedia page.

Does the Lead include an introductory sentence that concisely and clearly describes the article's topic?
- Yes, it does.
Does the Lead include a brief description of the article's major sections?
- No, it does not.
Does the Lead include information that is not present in the article?
- It does. There is mention of an "identity crisis" that the Dragon Age series was accused of having, which isn't cited, and isn't brought up again in the article.
Is the Lead concise or is it overly detailed?
- The lead is overly detailed.

Is the article's content relevant to the topic?
- It is mostly relevant to the topic, with only one statement I would say does not belong. Previous games shouldn't be mentioned except as an acknowledgment that Inquisition was a sequel.
Is the content up-to-date?
- Yes.
Is there content that is missing or content that does not belong?
- There is content that does not belong, as discussed above.

Is the article neutral?
Are there any claims that appear heavily biased toward a particular position?
- No.
Are there viewpoints that are overrepresented, or underrepresented?

Does the article attempt to persuade the reader in favor of one position or away from another?
- No.

Are all facts in the article backed up by a reliable secondary source of information?
- Yes.
Are the sources thorough - i.e. Do they reflect the available literature on the topic?
- Yes.
Are the sources current?
- Yes.
Check a few links. Do they work?

Is the article well-written - i.e. Is it concise, clear, and easy to read?
- It is well-written, but there are some stylistic things I would change.
Does the article have any grammatical or spelling errors?
- There are no spelling errors, but there are a couple grammatical errors that I just might go in and edit.

- Yes.
Are images well-captioned?
- Yes.
Do all images adhere to Wikipedia's copyright regulations?

Are the images laid out in a visually appealing way?
- Yes? But some of the images are in sections that don't particularly make sense.

What kinds of conversations, if any, are going on behind the scenes about how to represent this topic?
- There is a lot of very passionate discussion on the talk page. Nothing is particularly current, though.

How would you assess the article's completeness - i.e. Is the article well-developed? Is it underdeveloped or poorly developed?
