Which article are you evaluating?
Federal drug policy of the United States - Wikipedia

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 feel like this is a potential final project for me. It's a federal page which makes it si I wouldn't be able to edit the wiki page but instead the talk page.

Looking into tthe article, it's very simple, which I feel there could be more content added about the history of drug policy. More in the enforcement area, maybe adding the effects of drug policies which include mass incarceration and targeting those of low income. I feel like I could add more about these problems in the talk page for my project. The overall content of the article is good but again it just covers the minimum. The sourcing looks good throughout. There are no media pictures really and I feel like there can be more pictures added to show the disparity the drug policy has caused.

The main things I would add is going more into depth about how the drug policy came to be and consequenses of the drug policy. Through this I can compare other countries with crime rates, drug crime rates, incarceration and more
