=== Evaluating context === Here are some [[thought experiment]]s to help you test whether you are setting enough context: * Does the article make sense if the reader gets to it [[Special:Random|as a random page]]? * Imagine yourself as a [[wikt:layperson|layperson]] in another English-speaking country. Can you figure out what or who the article is about? Can you figure out whether a particular place or time is relevant? * Can people tell what the article is about if the first page is printed out and passed around? * Would a reader want to follow some of the links? Do sentences still make sense if they can't?
