Which article are you evaluating?
Front Algérie Française

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article because it appeared to be lacking in content, such as the background information about the Front Algérie Française (FAF), but also about important events that occurred in the time that the group was active, as well as its dissolution. The article matters because it helps to gain more information about the group of Algerians who favored the French rule of Algeria, and it helps to expand upon the topic of anti-independence and nationalism. My preliminary impression of it was that the existing article was in need of some minor edits. To me, the existing article was necessary to start gathering and spreading knowledge about what the FAF was, but the article needs more content for a better and more reliable overview.~

Evaluate the article
The article starts with an introductory sentence that briefly explains what the article is about. The rest of the lead includes a short description of only one important event that is relevant to the page, and does not include other relevant information, which makes the lead a bit lacking in content. A table of content is provided in the lead, and the lead does not contain information that is not elaborated on in the rest of the article.

The content is relevant to the subject but the content does not seem to be up-to-date, as the sources are dated. The article would be better if more recent sources and studies were used. As mentioned before, the article is a bit superficial, so more in-depth content is missing.

The article is written in a neutral way and does not try to persuade the reader to think in favor or against a certain group, person, or belief.

The article references various sources, but the sources are not always correctly formatted, and hyperlinks need to be added. As stated before, the sources are dated and there is a need for more recent studies to expand upon the topic. The sources do not come from a diverse group of people, as they all seem to come from French authors. More attention should be paid to diversifying the information and their sources.

The article is easy to read, but it is somewhat awkwardly written. More attention should be paid to the grammar and general writing flow. The article is split into various sections, but these sections are very short and need expansion.

One image and one video are included in the article and they are relevant to the content. They are also appropriately placed in the article. The video comes from Wikimedia and is captioned, but the caption can be shortened a bit.

The article is part of three WikiProjects, but they are all classified as C-class and low-importance or inactive. Besides a minor edit in January 2022, the article has not been edited since Autumn 2020.

Overall, the article is a good attempt to shed more light on the topic of the FAF, but it needs more substantial content in order to provide a better overview of the topic, its background, and other relevant information. The article can also be improved by editing the grammar and syntax, its overall structure, and adding more sources from a more diverse group of people. In summary, I would say that the article is poorly developed and can definitely be improved.~
