 * This article has a good over view and opening lead but with several issues through out. There isn't really any big discussions or topics through out the article.

There is a lot of content that I believe should and could be added and that is missing in this article.

There is no talking in the talk page at all. This is part of 4 wiki projects all rated start-class but low-importance.

Option 5

 * Article title
 * Black Lives Matter
 * Article Evaluation
 * The article is very good an up to-date as for its factual information. Due to the BLM movement being so recent there are several facts that are valid but not fully developed due to there not being a lot of data gathered over time. There is a good introductory sentence as for defining what BLM is and what is all included in it. It is a very concise intro, getting straight to the point of what its about. The article is very relevant to the main topic and it is very much so up to date as it is a very recent event. This topic was very heaving years ago with all the racial injustice and riots due to unequal rights. The article does touch on this a bit but its more focused on the current issue in todays society. I think the article has a good neutral hold on the topic. It is seen as on sided due to the topic its self but it does good covering all aspects on views from multiple angles. All the sources are current and valid. All the sources work and there are many sources with more information that are valid sources as well. The article is well written and has several good and broad topics that are broken down in the article and well organized. There are a couple images just showing what some of the protests looked like but not a lot to a point where is really showed everything that went on. There is not a lot of talk in the talk page at all. The article is rated good and it is very similar to the topics discussed in our class. The articles overall status was social sciences and society good articles. This article is very well developed and and very strong with its information. The only thing that could be improved is putting more current events into that article from other sources.
