Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article because it seemed interesting to me. It explains what social science is, the history behind it, and the different branches. My first thought after skimming through the article was that it is very informative and filled with lots of information.

Evaluate the article
The lead of this article is decently done. The introduction sentence starts with the definition of what social science is, which is a good way to start. The lead also includes a summary of what sections are in the article. The content of the article is relevant to the topic and up to date, as it was just last edited a few days ago. The article is neutral and there aren't any biases that I have noticed at all. It is not persuasive in any way. The article contains plenty of references that go with the information put in the article. The links that i checked work, and they seem to be thorough and relatively current. The article is well written for the most part, the lead is just a bit confusing toward the end because it gets a little off topic into the branches but otherwise it is well written and concise. The article contains multiple images that help understand the topic and are placed in spots where they are being talked about or relate to in the article which helps enhance the understanding of what's being talked about. The talk page of the article including people who were updating the article and just saying what they updated, people who thought something should be changed/ was wrong and wanted to see if others agreed, or people asking questions. The talk page was professional and productive. Overall, the article was done pretty well. the articles strengths were definitely the media/ images and the tone of the article. I think the article can be improved by adjusting the lead just slightly to make it a little less confusing.
