Which article are you evaluating?
Jay Mazur (labor union president)

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article because it talks about a labor union president, Jay Mazur, of the International Ladies' Garment Workers' union, and in our course we have been taking about the labor movement and unions. At first glace there seems to be important information about Jay Mazur.

Evaluate the article
The article seems to have a good lead section that provides important information about Jay Mazur and the labor unions he was a part of. It is short and to the point. The content overall seems to be good, but there is some information missing. It talks about his father emigrating to American, but doesn’t correctly give the year. It only says 19, which is confusing because it is hard to tell if the article is implying his father emigrated when he was 19 or if it was sometime in the 1900s that he emigrated. The article doesn't state that Jay Mazur is still alive, and before I checked I had thought that he had passed, but he hasn't. It might be a good idea to have that be more obvious. The tone and balance of the article is successfully neutral and does not seem biased, nor does it try to sway the reader. The only source of the article does not have an updated link, or the page got taken down. The source comes from the ILR School, and finding a more relevant/updated source would be important to do. The encyclopedia has an article about Jay Mazur that would be a great source to use. There also seems to be many other organization websites that talk about Jay Mazur that might be useful. There are no images or media of Jay Mazur in the article. There also does not seem to be any talk in the talk page of the article, though it is apart of the WikiProject Biography with the rating of Stub-Class on the project's quality scale. It’s also apart of the WikiProject Organized labor and has received a Stub-Class on the project's quality scale, but hasn't received a rating on the project's importance scale. It also hasn't been updated since 2012, so maybe starting a discussion and adding any new information would be helpful. Overall the article seems to only have one grammatical error, and the information may be outdated due to the source and the article not being updated in a while, but it is unbiased, short and to the point, and with just a few modifications could be a well flushed article.
