 * Article Evaluation:

Which article are you evaluating?
Jacobo Arenas

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
Famous for being the idealogical leader of the Marxist guerilla group in the jungles of Colombia, the article seems to be missing a lot of information regarding his life. Choosing this article allows me to easily spot mistakes so later on in the project I can see what is lacking in the article i choose.

Overall Impression


 * For such an important figure in Colombian history there was not as much information as i was expecting.
 * The article does a very good job of giving the facts of his life, but fails to show the opinions around the figure and feels more like a fact sheet than an article.
 * The article seems underdeveloped and could use more sources and important moments of his life in the article.
