Ella Baker

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I have always been intrigued by the Civil Rights movement and specifically the women that were involved. I think it's extremely important to learn about the people that were at the forefront of the movement but who's stories get pushed down. Ella Baker's Wikipedia page is well organized and thorough, providing useful information about how her work helped the movement.

Evaluate the article
The lead section of Baker's page provides a concise overview of what the page will be about and who Baker was. The lead section describes some of the other inspirational people that Baker worked along side and provides links to their Wikipedia pages. All of the sections and their contents are relevant to Baker's life and successes. This page discusses topics that are often underrepresented and does a good job of remaining neutral. The author uses reliable sources and does not attempt to persuade the reader to think one way about this topic. The article is well written and is free of spelling and grammar errors. The article only uses two images, both being relevant, one of Baker herself, and one a mural of Baker. Both images follow Wikipedia's guidelines for using images within an article. The talk page of this article includes some conversations about information that may be incorrect. The user who noticed the error was being somewhat rude to the author and used sarcasm to get their point across. The mistake was fixed and is up-to-date on the current page. The page is part of seven WikiProjects and is rated as a C-class for all of them. Overall, the article is well written and provides substantial amounts of reliable sources for the reader.
