The lead section of this article does a good job in giving a brief overview of the Magna Cartas purpose, but it is a bit lengthy and seems to give a lot of information at once, some of this information could be covered in other sections of the article. This article covers a lot and gives whole sections to background information, because there I so much background it distracts from the main topic. Background information could be helpful in some cases but it can be seen as irrelevant. The article is balances and matter of fact. There are many sources linked to this article, having many sources allows for you te see many different sides of an argument. The article is a little confusing to read because it contains so much information that may be slightly unrelated. Overall this seems to be a pretty trustworthy article, to improve it could be more concise, but it is a well developed article.
