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 I recently completed a research project about rural Mississippi and although I am far from an expert about the state, I feel that I learned a significant amount about it

The article, as expected because the subject is so popular/well-known, is very well developed. It has images, tons of citations, and lots of further reading at the bottom for anyone interested in learning more. However, the talk page is surprisingly spare and does not appear to have as much discussion on it as I would like. There are a few discussion points from 2003/2005, and the most recent one is from 2017. The article is rated "start-class", but also of level-5 vitality, which is very interesting.
