Which article are you evaluating?
Hunter-gatherer

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article because it relates heavily to what is being discussed in class right now, and because it discusses a very important aspect of human history. My first impression of the article is that it is already very well established and clearly has had a lot of work put into it.

Evaluate the article
Overall, my impression of the article was that it was very close to completion, but still needed some finalization work to get it up to the same quality of other articles. While it does do a good job of covering all of the topics associated with hunter-gatherers, there is one particular area that has some serious issues, which is in the Modern and revisionist perspectives section. There are two paragraphs in there whose tone is completely different than that of the rest of the article, seeming more like an argument rather than a factual report. The passage is also missing sources for all of the claims that it makes, a problem which was discussed on the talk page. It seems that although the user who added the passage was told to cite their sources, nothing was done and the unverified information is still there. Once that is corrected, then this will be a very high quality article.
