Article Evaluation

Stalin's cult of personality is off to a good start but contains some poorly written sentences and information included in sections which does not immediately relate to the topic. For instance, under Stalin's image in propaganda and the mass media a paragraph is devoted to Lenin's opinion of Stalin. This should be included in another section or given its own section in order to discuss Lenin's relationship to Stalin. Under Other displays of devotion there is included a large quote from Avidenko's Hymn to Stalin which is relevant but takes up too much space. In our training, it was impressed upon us that we should not use long quotations in our articles. In citation number 21, there is a note made which indicates that the access date may be incorrect. Additionally, in citation 37 the link is entitled "ASURITE Sign In" which should be changed to the actual source title. The article's sections are sparse. On the talk page, the article was nominated for deletion, but a recent response claims the quote used for the basis of nomination was taken out of context, thereby rendering the nomination null. The article discusses a factual topic but requires more information and significant editing to improve the way the information is compiled.
