Which article are you evaluating?
Far left policies

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
Far-left politics encompasses important political movements around the world, and help to explain left leaning policies proposed today. While ultimately unsuccessful in running nations for more than a few decades (with some exceptions), far-left politics have played a crucial role as an opposition and reaction to the free market capitalist system that rules much of the globe. The article about far-left politics is also underdeveloped and could use serious additions.

Evaluate the article
The lead section is comprehensive and accurately explains the varying definitions of far-left politics. The lead also mentions the article's major sections and does not include any information not found later in the article. The lead is concise and does not include unnecessary text. The content of the article is relevant to the topic, does not include irrelevant information, and is up to date. This article does not deal with one of Wikipedia's equity gaps. The article is neutral in its tone and does not try to persuade the reader one way or another. All aspects of far-left politics are represented. All facts presented are backed up by reliable second-hand sources that are mostly current. The authors are somewhat diverse, though they tend to lean male and Eastern European in origin. There are not better sources available and all the links work as intended. The article is well written and organized, and is free of grammatical and spelling mistakes. There are no images on this page, and the addition of them would strengthen the article. The discussions in the Talk tab are all about semantics or an extreme opinion that gets taken down by other writers. This article is C-Class and part of the Politics Wiki Project. The way that Wikipedia addresses these issues is similar to the way we address them in class, in both cases the information is presented in a concise and unbiased format. However, in class we study specific events or ideas more closely than in the article. The article's overall status is average, but could certainly use some work. The article's strengths are that it is comprehensive and unbiased. The article could be improved by adding more information about specific far-left militant groups and terrorist groups. While noted, they are not discussed in depth. The article should also discuss far-left parties in more detail. The article is underdeveloped, but with a few additions could become a completed piece.
