Which article are you evaluating?
Kingdom of Granada (Crown of Castile)

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article for a few reasons. I wanted to focus on Spanish History because It has a large importance to the history of the Indigenous peoples in South America because the Spanish are who invaded the Indigenous people's land. So I find it important to also study the Spanish along with the Indigenous people of South America to get a well rounded understanding of both forces. Also, the Kingdom of Granada is something that I do not know anything about, so It will be helpful and fascinating for me to learn about something new!

Evaluate the article
Lead Section - I found this lead section good, but not great. There is a good first sentence that describes what the Kingdom of Granada is, but the introduction does not give a great broad description of the importance of the Kingdom of Granada, which I think would be useful. I think it is a little bit overly detailed on details that I find hard to follow, instead of giving an easy to follow broad introduction.

Content - I feel like this article did have good content, but it felt very crammed in. Each sentence was a new piece of information that was helpful to know, but I feel like there could be given more details about this events that occurred during the Kingdom of Granada because that would provide more context and information. Although on the plus side, the information in this article is up to date because this article was last edited and revised in the year 2022, so the information is up to date.

Tone - This article is very neutral, and only provides facts about the events during the Crown of Castile which was very helpful to understand the information within this article. The author of this article definitely does not try to persuade the reader to form any sort of opinion or side when reading this article, so it is unbiased and not persuasive.

Sources- The author of this article only references one source, but the source is reliable and has good information. I feel like the author of this article could have definitely incorporated a few more sources which would bring in more information and details to expand on this topic, but the source that was used is a good source and definitely adds to this article in a positive way. The source used in this article was written in the early 2000's which makes it relatively current for the topic it is being talked about. The source in this article was only written by one author but the author is a doctor of history and is a reliable author.

Organization and Writing Quality - This article was on the poor side of quality. There is great information in this article but a lot of the details and facts in this article could definitely be expanded on and written in a more broader sense for better understanding. The information felt very crammed and if the author wrote just a lot more expanding details, I think this article could provide a lot more useful information about the topic of the Kingdom of Granada and make for an excellent historical article. There are a couple subsections in this article, but definitely not enough. There is only the main content and a subsection titled "Coat of Arms" which was a useful section but I think there could be a few more subsections to help expand on the information in this article and to make it easier for the reader to comprehend and learn from.

Images and Media - I think the author incorporated some really great images and they are titled very neatly and organized which I think helped a lot. The images look great in this article and are organized great along side the information in this article.

Talk Page Discussion - There are no discussions under the talk page, and the article has been rated as Start-Class on the project's quality page and has not yet received a rating on the project's importance scale.

Overall Impression - I think this article is an amazing first start at explaining the Kingdom of Granada, but can use a little bit of work. With a few more expanding sentences, broader language, and more subsections this article could be really great. I think the author of this article did a really good job, but the article just needs a little bit more work!
