 * Name of article: Convention People's Party
 * Briefly describe why you have chosen this article to evaluate. Because it relates to the recent class readings and I find the cooperation between the CPP and PDG interesting and subsequent failures very interesting.

Lead
Although the introductory sentence describes the topic, it does so extremely concisely and doesn't even provide a time frame. There is no description of the many sections of the article and misses on the opportunity to describe the organization of the fairly complex article. the lead could use a lot more detail and explanation, but doesn't provide information that is not present in the article.

Content
The article contains a large amount of information relevant to the topic, nearly providing too much but manages to tie all the details together. The content is as up-to-date as possible considering the historical nature of the topic.

Tone and Balance
Along with a lack of citations the article mainly consists of party propaganda with little analysis and outside criticism.

Sources and References
The article severely lacks citations and many sections lack any citation or footnote all together. There are a few sources but it seems that a large amount of the information lacks citations and is unnecessary. The few links provided do work however.

Organization
Although there are many many sections it is clear that each clearly builds off of the previous. Because of the large amount of information it is a little difficult to navigate and it could be better organized to reduce clutter, but because it is well written and mostly easy to read it isnt too difficult. the lack of opposing points of views makes organization simpler.

Images and Media
The article lacks visuals and I think images could help show the culture and practices of the party. Adding images could also reduce the clutter by providing white space and be used to help organize the article through spacing and information.

Checking the talk page
There's little to nothing going on on the talk page, and the article is rated as a start class and low importance. It belongs to the Ghanaian wikiproject and political wikiproject. The article has few points of view and rarely makes connections to the relevant international circumstances.

Overall impressions
Overall this article is a start, and needs lots of improvement. There is a lot of information but it needs citations, images, and diverse viewpoints to create a neutral tone. It is poorly developed due to the number of citations and lack of neutrality, and the amount of work needed to fix these weaknesses.
