Flagellant

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I did a lot of research on Flagellant movements during the Black Death for a final project last term, and think it's an interesting and tricky area to cover.

Lead section
The intro sentence is fine. The article does kind of a bad job of covering the major sections I think. Doesn't include extra info, and is concise.

Content
There's no discussion of any of the antisemitism associated with Black Death flagellant movements which I think is crazy & counts as an equity gap. I also think some finer description of flagellant practices could be in order, as this is the only place the topic surfaces on Wikipedia.

Tone and Balance
Tone is nice and neutral; doesn't make any crazy biased claims.

Sources and References
The bulk of the page is under a citation needed banner, which is obviously bad. The latest source is from 2014, and there's more recent study that could be added. The links work fine. I think sources on the Black Death would help the info on 14th century flagellantism.

Organization & Writing Quality
Like, fine. I think the divvying up of information is awkward but servicable.

Images & Media
They should be using the flagellant procession miniature from Giles Li Muisis's Chronicle when they're talking about 14th century German flagellation. Insane not to.

Talk Page
Discussions on Jewish persecution dating 2008 that basically say "medieval accounts of anti-semitism should be taken with a grain of salt here" (insane), some dead end suggestions abt pop culture and bdsm, merger proposal and link fix.

Overall Impressions
Like Fine, needs more (recent) sources, beefing up of Black Death discussion, properly discuss antisemitism.
