Which article are you evaluating?
(Kurdistan Workers' Party)

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose it for my interest in militant political organizations. I believe it matters as the area has a long history and it still presents conflicts to this day. Questions of autonomy of ethnic groups from existing nation-states is a very politically relevant topic, of which we see many examples in today's politics. My preliminary impression is that it is a complete article with many sources that gives a broad scope of the party since it first started operating.

The lead section is clearly written and explains the party's main characteristics in a concise manner.

The content is good, the history is well explained. However, it misses important updates on the status of the party from 2015-onward. Although there is extensive use of sources throughout the article, many sentences require citations, else they should be removed or revised. In particular, there is mention of the PKK's involvement in human trafficking, but not enough evidence is given for such a claim. The same goes with the section on drug trafficking. Both of these seem to have a negative bias towards the status of the organization. Language is clear and neutral, although there have been questions of some impartial editors, as noted in the talk page when discussing if the party was a terrorist organization. However, the editors took out biased opinions and the main page only presents peer-reviewed sources and citations when mentioning actors who consider the PKK a terrorist organization.

The article is overall organized, the sections clearly divided with no overlapping topics. The images are well-presented and appropriate.

The citation could be improved and more added. There could be more efforts to achieve complete neutrality, although it is a controversial topic.
