I chose this article because I looked through articles that were related to Linguistic Anthropology. The title of the article was interesting, because violence is interpreted differently in an artistic manner.

Evaluate the article
At the start of the article, there are things that are wrong with the article. The article is difficult to understand, especially at the beginning. For instance the lead section of this article is depicted to be a personal essay, it takes a while for certain parts of the article are mentioned in the lead section. The article does not contain up-to-date information, with the most recent reference being from a few years ago. This is coming from a neutral point of view, with relevant information cited from people that are involved in the article. Although most of the references are backed up from a reliable secondary source, not all of the sources come from an organizational or educational source, with an introductory essay from a user source being mentioned in the article. Fortunately the links of the references do work when clicked on. The article is easy to read, with references from popular culture to explain subjects that are mentioned. It is broken down for the reader to understand what the article entails, and it furthermore breaks down into sub-sections to specify how each sections is relevant to the article. The images are well-captioned, showing a good description on what each photo is. The talk page is extensive with information from fellow editors, and provided information for better understand certain parts of the article that may not have been mentioned in the article itself.

The article overall is good in terms of providing the necessary information to understand the article. Some of the strengths include the article goes in detail on how certain things are integrated into the article. The photos give the reader a visual towards seeing how they are related to the article. Some things that could be improved include making the introduction succinct and concise, while giving the necessary information for the reader to understand what is going on in the article. The article is well-developed, although there is room for edits to make the article better.
