Which article are you evaluating?
Utopian studies - Wikipedia

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I just selected this because it was under one of the academic disciplines and sounded pretty interesting. I know nothing about "Utopian studies" but sometimes people accuse my ideas of being too utopian so I suppose I was interested in seeing what these utopian advocates and I have in common.

Evaluate the article
The lead section is incredibly concise and relies on links to other Wiki pages to define any of the terms or provide information on things a reader may not understand. In fact almost all of the article is just links to utopian scholars, utopian journals and groups, famous utopian works, and other links to more perspectives on utopian studies. In this way it seems the article is presenting a very neutral view point by simply listing off famous utopian scholars and works, no favoritism is showed towards any particular one, but I do wonder if there are some notable ones missing. Everything looks thoroughly cited in this article and is extremely well organized, if one was interested in utopian studies here they could easily and comfortably find scholars and readings to look into. Unfortunately, there are no fun images in this specific article but most of the links it offers will bring you to some. Checking the talk page I see that other Wikipedians identified what I did, namely, that the article could be expanded and is missing potentially significant work. Overall, I think it is a very well organized article with plenty of useful information presented rather neutrally but I think that someone who is very well versed in contemporary utopian studies should take a look at it and add works or scholars they think significant. Some scholars and works mentioned do not have links connected with them as well so it would be a good improvement to include those links (though maybe those links aren't included because there is not a Wiki page to link them to?).
