User:Gendelo/Evaluate an Article

Which article are you evaluating?
Spanish Sahara

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article because it is directly related to my topic on Simple Wikipedia (The Spanish Sahara). My impression of the article was fairly positive; however, sources could be better and the historical information provided is not entirely accurate.

Evaluate the article
- The lead paragraphs are fairly strong; however, there is too much focus on contemporary events and not enough on historical ones (The Spanish Sahara only existed until 1975, so why is there information on the current controversies surrounding the Western Sahara?)

- Content is strong, although there are some historical inaccuracies

- Tone is neutral

- Sources could definitely be improved since there are too many modern sources and not enough historical ones (need for more books such as Spanish Sahara by John Mercer)

- Images and media are helpful (and there doesn't appear to be any copyright issues)

- Talk page discussion is outdated (no recent activity)

- Overall, this is a strong article, but sources could be improved, and historical events could be made clearer (as well as the actual geographical area of the Spanish Sahara)
