Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article to evaluate because it is relevant to our course and is a potential article I would like to work on when the time comes to edit an article in sandbox.

Evaluate the article
The lead section is well detailed and gives a good overview of the topic, some sections seem to be more heavily detailed, maybe to an excess. It covers the major sections of the article, and does not cover material irrelevant to the article.

The content of the article is also relevant to the topic, it appears to be up to date and is using a neutral point of view. There is some under representation of the people living north of the wall which could use some digging if possible. The main issue with a lot of the earlier sections in this article is that there are a lot of sources missing.

The talk page is very busy, and covers a very large amount of topics, some showing information gaps, others seem unfocused. This article is rated as a b-class article and it is a focus in a number of wikiprojects.

I would say this article is pretty well developed, it has a lot of neutrally positioned information and covers a lot of information on the topic. The main area of improvement I could see is that it needs assistance with a few citations.
