Disinformation

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
(Briefly explain why you chose it, why it matters, and what your preliminary impression of it was.)

I have chosen this article because 1, it is the article that I will be doing my final wikipedia edits on and 2, because I feel it is an important topic in the modern political climate yet the wiki page has largely been left go, and has not been updated to fit more modern times.

The leading section is fantastic, it succinctly summarises and gives the reader a very digestible idea to understand and apply. For those who hop onto wikipedia just for a quick definition/understand this works flawlessly. As we delve deeper into the wiki page though we begin to see some issues. Specifically the content is very outdated. Although the actual meat of the article is stocked full with facts and good credible information it all mainly related to the KGB and Russian uses. It should be clear that disinformation is not something that is solely utilized by Russia and that there are many examples of modern disinformation that are not included in this page. Aside from outdated information, this article has good organization and writing quality as well as cites good and credible sources. The talk page appears baren though, signifying again how the article is outdated and not been updated is quite some time. The article could greatly be improved by having updated content added to it.
