https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propaganda

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 chose this article because propaganda in politics is something that interest me. I want to research the effects of advertisements and propaganda through media in elections. This is a very important subject because propaganda can be unethical and sway peoples opinions/spread false information. I believe that the wiki article on this specifically was too short, and that there is a lot more to be said on this topic. I also want to talk more on presidential elections and the impact of propaganda in voting.

 * I believe the content of the politics section can be stronger and more synthesized. There are only a couple sections on each topic brought up (9/11, the 2016 election, etc) so I believe that more detail and evidence is needed.
 * I do no think that there is too much detail, and I think more should be added
 * The articles content is relevant and pretty up tp date, referencing the 2016 election. There could be more up to date information added
 * The article is from a neutral POV, and does not show bias
 * There is no obvious persuasion
 * Facts are backed up by sources
 * Links in article work
 * The sources can be more up to date- a lot are from the 90's
 * The organization is good as it is
 * The writing is a bit choppy- since there is so much info with little detail- so more detail would be good
 * I think the images are good and on topic
