Christmas seal

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I have chosen the article on Christmas seals because stamps interest me, but I was not aware of these seals, nor their use in the fight against TB.

Evaluate the article
Lead Section: Everything checks out here, but it mentions that Christmas seals were like a 'cinderella stamp,' and that is the last mention of such things. I think this doesn't fit in the lead because cinderlla stamps are not very common knowledge and would require the reader to do more research than needed for just reading the lead.

Content: All content is relevant and up-to-date, the segment of "Christmas Seals in Europe" mentions Denmark, Scandinavia, and then simply mentions that the rest of Europe then used it. More information in the section would be nice.

Tone: Good Neutral tone, but Denmark is overrepresented. There is a large section on the United States, and most of mainland Europe is not recognized. The "Christmas Seals in Europe" section, gives only 2 sentences about Europe, and then mentions other parts of the world. Perhaps that section should only mention Europe (In greater detail), and later sections should mention other continents.

Sources: Only 3 sources, one seems to not be done properly? There is information with no citation labeled as 'citation needed'. The links appear to work.

Writing quality: This is written well.

Media: Only 2/5 the images are of Christmas seals, 3/5 are Danish specific. There is a picture of a man who is only mentioned once in the article. I believe he is an important figure to note of, but his is disproportionately represented in comparison to photos of Christmas seals.

Talk: This article is a part of 2 low-class projects. This article, I believe, is C-Class. A few users have mentioned their issues with the article with over/underrepresentation. One user in particular has made many comments over time. Also, it appears that some Wikipedians have caught bias as well as errors, possibly including copyright.

Overall: This article can use some work, it has a basic framework but it needs more information from different parts of the world. I would like to contribute more information about Christmas seals in the US, but some have complained there is too much information there already.
