Article Evaluation: New Economic Policy

Everything in the article is relevant and nothing distracted me from the topic at hand.

The information is up to date in the article, but there is constant suggestion by wiki to expand sections and even to rewrite the article according to guidelines.

The tone of the article is not neutral; in fact it conveys a bias towards NEP. This could be improved by doing more research that looked at NEP as a whole and not just through the opinionated eyes of said parties.

In checking a few links, I can see that the sources do support the claims in the article. There is a mixture of neutral and biased sources. The neutral sources are other wiki articles that have been cited in regards to particular topics in the Ankh article. The biased sources are novels, prominent figures, and scholars dedicated to the researching NEP. The bias is not noted. There is information about prominent figures such as Lenin that are underrepresented and that are missing citations. There are also sections that lack information that could support the topic such as "who" or "which" or lack of discussion.

The conversations per the talk page are highly criticizing the article. They mention the article containing more than one biased source of propaganda. There is also mention of Stalin- centric bias and even some accusations of political agenda.

The article is rated start-class and is a part of four different wiki projects: WikiProject Russia / Economy / History, WikiProject Soviet Union , WikiProject Socialism , WikiProject Economics

The topic is talked about more negatively in this article than mentioned in class or the textbook thus far. Broad generalizations such as " The Bolsheviks’ view towards village life was dismal," are not supported in any material citations in the article.
