Article title
Counter-Strike: Global Offensive
Article Evaluation
  • Content is relevant to content, events, and affiliations with the video game
  • "The update was met with a mixed response from players, with many pointing to free third-party websites that provided similar stats." Although this is a neutral statement from the article, this quote points to possible bias within the article against CSGO.
  • Each claim has a numbered source correlated to it. Most are from gaming news websites, meaning that the main points are likely true. Smaller details could be missing or added.
  • This game is played by younger, European people, meaning it might not tackle Wikipedia's Equity Gap.
  • There is talk from the community in the Wikipedia page to create a new page for CS 2, the new game that has just been released. This might be a chance for me to improve this article.
