Which article are you evaluating?
Humanitarian aid

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article to evaluate because my paper topic is about humanitarian response in Yemen. This Wikipedia page matters because it gives an outline and brief summary of what humanitarian response is. My preliminary impression of the page was it does a good job at a surface level of what a humanitarian response is and who provides the response. It goes over different types and examples of humanitarian responses, and country specific examples.

The lead is a very broad sentence and needs to be more concise. This article does a good job with content with having relevant and up-to-date information. Some content that is missing is the idea of internally displaced persons, IDP's are the hardest to deliver aid to and statistically significantly more then refugees. The tone and balance from the page is neutral and informative. There are plenty of sources cited with a variety of types. There are journal articles, news articles, and government websites. The writing quality in the introduction section could be more concise and more detailed. The images do not enhance the article, with a picture of a delivery truck and of UN aid boxes. Overall impressions, I think there could be more concise language, and focus on IDP since it is an important logistic issue when talking about humanitarian aid.
