Article Evaluation Spring 18
The Perestroika article is missing some citations. Some of the article is a bit hard to follow at times, it could use a rewrite in a few places just to make it flow a little better. It might also benefit from a bit more detail about Perestroika. We get a broad sense of the topic but don't get to see much detail in how the policy was implemented and the various effects it had on people. Most of the article seems to be written in a vague way, and it kind of repeats itself throughout rather than adding any new information. The talk page on this article is full of suggestions and criticisms. The general theme of the conversations there seem to be that it was poorly written, and lacks content. Some users did add interesting details about perestroika that aren't in the article, which further reinforces my first impression of a vaguely written article without much substance. It is a part of four Wiki projects, and is rated "Start-class".

== Article Evaluation == This article seems biased in some of its language, using phrases like "best preserved," and attempts to evaluate the nature of a mural from one view point. The author here mentions that this isn't the only view point, but doesn't address any other specific opinions. The author then makes the claim that these murals are the "best preserved" from this time period in this area. All the information in the article, with the exception of the last two sentences, is missing citations. Both citations lead to official Bulgarian websites, which can be seen as biased sources, and the author doesn't make any mention of the bias existing in these sources.

This article doesn't have any conversations on its talk page yet, but it is part of a few wiki projects.

Content/ Adding to an Article
After searching through various articles about this site, it appears that the original Wiki article is almost entirely plagiarized from http://www.worldheritagesite.org/list/Thracian+tomb+of+Kazanlak. I will add citations to the existing material of the article, however I feel somewhat uncomfortable adding more information to it because so much of it has been directly copied from another source.

Addition that I would have placed within the article:

This particular tomb has gained fame for it's beautiful frescoes. One larger fresco depicts a married couple, surrounded by various servants and horses with their chariots at a funeral feast. The frescoes within this tomb were well preserved, and serve as a tribute to Thracian art and culture.
