Lovers of Zion

Why have you chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article because we briefly read about it in class, and it has been mentioned briefly in other books that I have read. I was interested in learning more about Leon Pinsker and the early history of the Zionist Movement and Hibbat Zion.

Evaluate the article
The lead section of this article is sorely lacking. I think it does an okay job at introducing the topic, but it introduces ideas that are not cited. Additionally, the subjects mentioned in the lead paragraph are rarely discussed in the rest of the article.

The content in the rest of this article only covers a brief history of how the group initially formed. Also, many things are uncited, unnecessary, or biased. The article does not cover anything in regard to history of the movement or why it came into existence. After the lead, the article does not even mention Hovevei Zion until the second half of the article.

There is very little discussion about this article in the talk pages, but the above comments are mentioned. The article is rated as C-class and has clearly not been updated or edited in many years.

This article needs a complete revamping. It is clearly unpolished and incomplete. Almost nothing in the article actually discusses anything regarding Hibbat Zion.
