Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
(Briefly explain why you chose it, why it matters, and what your preliminary impression of it was.)

I chose this article because it looked very skimpy and for two countries that are right next to each other it didn’t look like a lot of information. The information it did have was not concise and has no sense of organization except chronology. I’m sure that these countries history goes back before 1970 so I’m sure there is a plethora of interactions that could be detailed in these countries.

To start off The lead section is very bare bones and simply describes that Algeria and Tunisia are countries. It makes no mention of the countries histories or their geographic positions. As previously mentioned the article does not have that much information, besides a pretty detailed explanation of the two countries relationship in the 1980’s and about their cantankerous relationship after the Arab Spring. The article includes some unclear messages and a pointless section about the embassies in each country with a small picture. Overall I think the information that is on the article is neutral and accurate. However some of the sources have been taken from US sources and news sites over peer reviewed sources. I’m curious about any peer reviewed sources can be found about these country’s relationship, newspapers might be a valuable tool. I think that this article would definitely benefit between more clearly divided sections that help readers find the years they want rather than just a big box of text. The articles activity seems to be pretty dead with no recent edits in the last year. I think this article would be a prime one for a redesign and to work on for this project.
