The lead section of this article is good but could use some improvement. The first sentence is a good overview of the topic. However, within the lead paragraph there is some extra information given that should probably go later in the article since this is supposed to just be a broad overview of what is to come. Further, this article does a decent job at staying neutral and unbiased. The author does not seem to really try to persuade the author in a certain way. They seem to show different perspectives and theories on the subject. I think the article could, however, work on going more in depth on the subject and the details surrounding its history. Next, I tried some of the links and they all worked so it's hopeful that they all do. However, there could have been more sources used to back up what is written in this article. They did use 6 sources though and that is not too bad. I think the sections used were good, but more information should be added to them. I think added information would aid to making this article clearer and easier to understand. Lastly, the pictures used in this article are helpful and beneficial as they help the reader understand what it is they are reading about. All in all, I stick with my earlier statement about this being a good article that could use some improvement and added information.
