International Relations and Security Network

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article due to my curiosity of and desire to learn more about International Security. More specifically this article is about the International Relations and Security Network (ISN) in Switzerland that assisted in making important documents available to the public on the Internet.

My first impression of the article was the lack of information presented throughout it, and how I wish there was more added within it to provide more details of the importance of the ISN.

Evaluate the article
The lead to this article starts off strong with a precise, straightforward introduction to the subject at hand. It doesn't provide an overview of the main sections that follow within the article, however. The final sentence also provides information not talked about elsewhere within the article, and leaves the reader wondering where the author was planning on going by providing this information.

The contents of this article appear to not have been touched for several years, as there is only one message in the talk section of Wikipedia. As of such, the article may be severely outdated to current knowledge and information for ISN. The latest article in use being from 2016, 6 years ago from today's date. Overall there is no real connection between the main sections of the article causing readers to become confused or distracted to the main subject at hand. There is a necessity to add content and information to this article as it is severely lacking information.

What little information is presented in this article is largely unbiased in the sense I don't get the feeling the author is trying to sway the reader in one way or another. This article just provides the bare bones of what ISN was and what it did, leaving no real room to allow for the author to provide their opinion.

Some of the citations on the page do not work and instead bring the reader to an error message. Others seemingly have no purpose in being cited within the text for no reason at all except to fulfill necessary citation requirements.

There are no images and media present on this article.

This article is poorly developed at most. The strengths to this article are the activities list in which the author writes a small amount of helpful information talking about ISN. The weakness includes several moments throughout the article in which it feels as if the author relies heavily on the readers prior knowledge of ISN in order to fill in the gaps.
