Which article are you evaluating?
Convict era of Western Australia - Wikipedia

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I have chosen this article because I am in the process of doing research on British penal colonies in Australia. The topic matters because it offers an historical account of prison labor under the British empire. My preliminary impression of the article is alright, but I believe there are more facts to be found and structure to improved.

Evaluate the article
Lead section

The article has a decent lead section. It should be longer and give a better introduction into the topic. It should describe the major sections of the article in a better way.

Content

The content is a little short on some sections such as the "Later Years" section. A lot of information is only mentioned but not explored in more depth. Overall, the strengths are the "Convict Era" section. It is well written.

Tone and Balance

In some instances, there are value statements that should be removed, especially in the "Free settlement to penal colony" section.
