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 it is relevant to my course and is relevant in the world today. Capital; punishment, or the death penalty, has been a hot topic in the last century and has been around for more than 500 years. It existence has proved to be controversial in the world today, and morally divides people constantly. This article was informative, and chronologically easy to read. There was historical and cultural information from all over the world relating to the death penalty, but it stayed focused.

The lead section of this article is very effective. The definition as well as a brief overview of the recent history of the death penalty are clear and neutral. However, the introduction is a bit too detailed and everything was described in greater detail later in the article. The content in this article is heavily updated with the most recent update to it being on October 2, 2023. The tone of this article is strictly neutral. Even when writing about different religious, cultural, or regional issues the article only describes the issues in nature and their point in history. This article is densely populated with different links and extensions, and has sited over 200 sources, from all different parts of the world and from different national government publications. While the article has a variety of different sources and information, there are no present grammatical or spelling errors. It is organized chronologically with history, and provides multiple different images. The images consist of different works of art from the time periods being discussed, and no images are out of place. The talk page has held conversations on what information is needed and what information is redundant, specifically in what and if there is a difference between the noun the death penalty and capital punishment. Overall, this article is very well put together, and near flawlessly checks every box.
