Which article are you evaluating?
(Louisiana Purchase)

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
(Briefly explain why you chose it, why it matters, and what your preliminary impression of it was.)

I chose this article because of the topic's impact on history and specifically the United States. This topic changed the landscape of the United States and still is a part of the nation today. The article gives good insight of what the topic is and everyone involved in the event. I was impressed by the amount of information, including the several sections that the article is separated into.

The lead section contains a bit more details that you would want, however it does hit all the points you need to hit for a lead section. The article's content, sources, and use of images is strong and there is nothing that is potentially wrong with what they did. The article does a good job at remaining neutral throughout. The article is also very developed and has many layers that are complete. An improvement that could be implemented is expanding on the smaller sections and maybe leaving off some information that is not so important on the longer sections because it does seem to be a longer read.
