Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article, of my favorite artist Alice Neel, because it is thorough and includes multiple sections of variety to edit.

Evaluate the article
The lead is concise yet it provides a full representation of her painting style. However, it does not include a brief description of the article’s major sections.

The article’s content, especially the description of her early life, is relevant and detailed, without over analyzing her history. The content is up to date as well, and includes he work’s prominence all the way up until 2021. The article does address one of Wikipedia’s equity gaps, as it addresses her focus on women and queer individuals through her painting style.

The article is neutral, and does not try to persuade the reader towards any viewpoint. All of the relevant facts are backed up by sources, and the reference section features few sources that are not legitimate archives of information. It also includes journal entries on Neel, which is essential in describing her life with specificity and accuracy.

The article could benefit from many more images of Neel’s paintings. The article thoroughly describe many of Neel’s paintings individually, and reference images of these works of art here would greatly elevate the article.

The talk section is not very long, but three important questions have been asked and corrected by the author since, such as as request for more specific references, a description on why how work was influenced by politics, and a small question about her children.
