I chose it because I am studying sociology which is one of the social sciences and I found it interesting because I also have a focus on history.

Evaluate the article
This article does not have a great lead section, it has the author's name and what the book is about but that also can be easily figured out by the title of the book. The content is limited the article doesn't go into depth at all into what the article is about so I can't say if the information is sound at all because there is not much information. It does have a neutral point of view because it is just one sentence which is pretty hard to make controversial. The article does have a sound bibliography for the book and all of the sources look right and reputable. I think the bibliography is just the bibliography straight from the back of the book. The organization is fine but basic there is again not much information. There is an external link to a website and an author's note that are good and helpful. It doesn't look like there is much action on the talk page of this article but it is connected to a couple of subgroups. Overall it's not a horrendous article but also barely qualifies as an article because it is like two sentences max.Gbell03 (talk) 06:23, 18 January 2024 (UTC)
