99 Luftballons

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this because the name was interesting and caught my attention and when I realized it is an anti-war article that felt relevant to current world events.

Evaluate the article
This article has a good lead section that describes the song itself, but it could have some information in the lead section about the fact that it is anti-war and why specifically it was written. The content is relevant and complete without any apparent equity gaps. The article seems to present the information historically and with a neutral tone without any bias and the content is clear and concise. The source links work and there are some recent sources even though this is more or a historical event. The sources appear to be reliable since they are third party sources that are relevant in the music industry. There is an image of the album cover which is relevant, but I think the article could benefit from some images that represent the situation at the time and the inspiration behind the song. Most of the discussion in the talk page is about the direct translation of the title. This was addressed a little bit in the article itself, but could definitely be explored more. The fact that the exact translation does not match either how German's would speak or the English version title could be discussed more within the article. The English version adds "red", was this to signify socialism/communism, or just a way to get the lyrics to match up? Exploring this might benefit the article.
