American Beach, Florida

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
The article talks about the significance of American Beach which was a popular vacation spot for African Americans during the segregation period where they couldn't go to any beach they wanted. I find the topic interesting because I personally didn't know places like this existed though it makes sense.

Evaluate the article
The lead section gives an accurate overview of what American Beach was but it doesn't have a comprehensive lead sentence. It is concise and informative but its a little jumpy and hard to read. The content of the article appears to be accurate and up to date but again is a little choppy and there is a lot of content that is under developed and just kind of thrown in. The article does deal with a historically underreported or represented topic. The article appears to be pretty neutral without giving opinions on really anything at all. The sources seem to be reliable but they are all from The National Parks Service so they are not diverse or varied at all. There is also one source that is not cited correctly. The writing quality of the article could be a bit better, as it is more like a rough draft right now. There are lots of grammatical errors which makes it hard to read and the content does not flow well. There are a lot of ideas but none of them expanded upon or organized in any way. There are images but no references for them. There is only one comment on the talk page so you can tell there hasn't been much work done of this article and it is rated as start class. Overall, I think this article has the basics of what the topic is about but needs to be heavily developed and edited from where its at right now.
