Which article are you evaluating?
History of the Central Intelligence Agency - Wikipedia

Why have you chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article because it is a subject I do not know much about, and I figured I might as well learn something while doing this assignment. This article matters because the CIA is an organization that a lot of people are unfamiliar with and having a correct history is a good first step. My preliminary impression of this article is that it is a well-organized article that contains a lot of information.

Evaluate the article
The lead section is very detailed, but it does not do a good job of giving an overview of what the whole article is about. Most sections have been well researched, but some sections seem to be unnecessary to give a concise article. Pictures are included, but do not help to enhance understanding about most things within the article. Overall, the article provides a great amount of backed-up research, but there is an ineffective use of images and subtle hints of opinion throughout the article.
