Mulatto

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I'm technically mulatto but there's a lot of controversy around the term and I never took the time to learn more about it.

Evaluate the article

 * 1) The intro of the page is very brief which is good for someone who just wants a brief meaning of the word, but I think there's room for a brief overview of the entirety of the article before getting into the etymology.
 * 2) I like that the article takes the word from all different countries and perspectives with the US not being the center of thought. Also reflects on both past and present connotations.
 * 3) Article is very matter of fact and does not take a side on whether or not the word is appropriate, but merely explains the words effects and roots in all parts of the world.
 * 4) Jut about everything in the article is cited with most sources being from the 2000s. I think there is room for newer sources if possible.
 * 5) All of the images are very well used and have good captions but I don't see any images that explains a modern day version of what would be considered mulatto.
 * 6) The talk page is small and consists of confusion as to whether to term is offensive or not, which I think for this particular page is a good conversation because it is something that is not completely understood or agreed on but needs to be included in order for full understanding, which it looks like this fact was added to the article.
 * 7) I think the article is very good and well organized. However, it is mostly historical and lacks a fuller modern day understanding probably because of the controversy surrounding the topic.
