Which article are you evaluating?
Women in agriculture in India

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article because I am interested in the intersection between organic farming and women's empowerment. The Women in Agriculture in India article could benefit from the addition of a section about organic agriculture and how women partake in that specific type of agriculture and how organic agriculture may impact women socially.

Evaluate the article
Lead section:

The lead section introduces the topic in an broad way, using facts and figures that were appropriately cited. The lead section does not introduce information that is not elaborated upon later in the article. The lead section does not outline the later sections or describe any of their content. The lead section is concise.

Content:

The content is relevant to the topic but has not been updated since 2013, which means the information in the article is not as relevant 10 years later. The sources cited are also over 10 years old which indicates that there is updated information that the article does not reflect. There is content that does seem to be missing, specifically as it relates to the Green Revolution and organic agriculture. All of the content currently in the article seems like it belongs. The article does deal with the subject of women in India who face numerous instances of discrimination due to gender. Many of these women are also in rural agrarian communities and face limited mobility in addition to other barriers.

Tone and Balance:

The article does seem to be written from a neutral point of view and does not use a lot of value-judgement language. None of the claims seem to be heavily biased. There don't seem to be any mentions of minority view points, which might be an issue that could be remedied. The article does not seem to be persuading the reader to one particular position.

Sources and References:

The sources used in this article are not current, but they do seem to come from reliable publications. I think that there could be more references to academic journals, as the majority of sources seem to be data collected from private companies, and news articles that might have particular biases that influence the content of the article indirectly. Most of the links do work, however some of them are out of date. There could be more citations for the bulk of the article.

Organization and Writing Quality:

The article is well written and does not have any noticeable grammatical or textual errors. The article is broken down into sections that are cohesive but there are more sections that are necessary to fully explore the depth of this topic.

Images and Media:

There are not many images that are present in this article. Possibly maps would help to visualize regional differences. There is only one image with a citation that is not complete in the image but the image is captioned in an articulate and complete way.

Talk page discussions:

The talk page is not very active, but there were users who pointed out the gaps in citations for some major sections of the article.

Overall Impressions

The article is well written but could be diversified in terms of the total information it presents. It also could present more citations. I would say the article could be better developed.
