= Article Evaluation: Cartographic Propaganda = This article gives a very brief and mildly confusing overview of cartographic propaganda. There are several examples that are superfluous and don't give a clear example of the topic. The layout and formatting of the visuals is not very well done and it comes across convoluted. This article could also do with some more visual examples as it has to do with a visual subject. The examples that the article gives doesn't post-date the World Wars. The subject is still relevant and should have more modern examples in order to be a well rounded source for this material. This article could address more on British Imperialism and its contributions to the problem and could also address non-western examples.

The sources of this article are all scholarly sources. A lot of the articles that this subject is built on are from the University of Chicago. Which isn't bad, but more should be added for a better overall article. The oldest source listed in the bibliography is from 1974 and is from the University of California, because this article covers centuries of information there is no need to go back and take this source or its information out.
