1. Length

The length of your Wikimedia is not 3000 words however that is expected as this is only a draft. I see that you still have some sections left to write and started writing some sections so I think you would hit the 3000 word count soon. I am guessing that the “Ethical Efforts” and “Epic Games v. Apple” and “Epics Games and Google” will be your biggest sections and will have a lot to write about the ethical issues against those companies. There is also a blank section for “Plans for the Future” so that helps with reaching that 3000 word count as well.

2. Structure

Your Wikimedia does include the 3 major components of a good article. It does have an opening paragraph that summarizes the issue. If possible, maybe expanding more on the issue and talking about that a bit more can help. Or maybe adding a bit of history about the Epic Games’ history/more about its founding. I see you have a history section, but maybe adding a bit of that into the introduction and connecting the history to its ethical issues could be an interesting way of tying it together as the introduction paragraph is short. For the body of your Wikimedia article, I really liked how you sectioned the Wikimedia. It has a nice flow of history to recent success to types of games to the store with its controversy to the ethical problems and efforts that the Epic Games company is trying to do. It would be nice for you to write more about the “Recent Success” and the “Epic Games Store” store and somehow connect that to the ethical issues that Epic Games is having. And also writing more about in the “Ethical Efforts” section, but it looks like you have plans on writing more as you have new blanks sections in the “Ethical Efforts” section. Your references look good as they are from the Epic Games website itself, from reliable news sources, or famous/popular blogs. When you are using statistics or writing facts you are adding references so that looks good. I don’t think there is really anything you would need to improve on for references. Also, you have met the one image requirement, but adding in more images in the “Epic Games Store” or “Ethical Efforts” would be a nice touch.

3. Clarity

The stake is clear to me. The writing is good and has a good flow. I can see an introduction to the ethical issues that could be addressed, but there are no big ethical issues yet discussed, but I am guessing it will be written soon in the “Ethical Efforts” and in new sections if you choose to add more in. Some ethical issues that I can see currently are the controversy with the Epic Games Store and the company’s issue with Apple and Google. As the ethical issues are not clearly written yet it is hard to tell why the ethical issues are important. This is not a big issue as only half of the Wikimedia is written so there is a lot of room for additional information.

4. Objective Reporting

I believe that your Wikimedia is at a neutral point of view. I do not see any major or big personal opinions while I was reading your Wikimedia. When you write more in the “Ethical Efforts” you can talk about all the major shareholders like the company itself and Tencent. Maybe even some general public opinions or some thoughts from famous gamers that play games offered by Epic Games. When reporting, you can report more on the Ooblets issue and maybe find examples or statistics of the number of “violent and racist threats” decreasing after the official statement was made.
