Rhetorical Analysis 1 edit
The article I chose was "The Waste Land" by T.S. Eliot. It was started back in 2008 on March 3rd. The strengths of the article are that it, for the most part, maintains a neutral tone, is well sourced, and is balanced well. However, the way they structure it and the way the lead-in reads are both a little disjointed. Also, the article has some information that is somewhat outdated or misinformed, and occasionally an individual's readings of the text will be thrown into the mix. The original article is a lot more disjointed and just lists factoids about the poem's composition as opposed to actually explaining substantive things about the article. It doesn't look like the "Talk" page has been used since 2013, but edits have been made fairly regularly since then. The most recent edit was made at on December 17, 2015, so the article is still relatively active. I edited the "style" section so it is a little less awkward to read.
