Which article are you evaluating?
(World War II - Wikipedia.)

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I wanted to evaluate this article because I believe WW II is a very interesting topic that I do not remember learning a lot about in my previous years of education. Evaluating this topic will teach me more and help me push my limits to evaluation skills and learning capabilities.

Evaluate the article

 * 1) Lead section

The leading section for this article is good. It talks about how the war started, the alliances between the different countries and their goals, and even mentions other events that happened during WWII such as the holocaust. One recommendation that I have is to talk about or at least mention what happened to the citizens and solders during this time. Such as adding the death toll for the soldiers who were shot and killed and the attacks that happened. Also, this article says "World War II changed the political alignment and social structure of the globe." And doesn't go into more detail about it.

2. Content

The content is also good and the events that were talked about aline perfectly with the rest of the article. It gives dates, background, pre and post war events, the course the war took (what happened during the war), the aftermath, and finally with things that have to do with the war itself is the impact. There are also things that any article would have, being citations and sources.

3. Sources and references

The sources that are listed are either very old as of the 1990's or as old as 2008. The articles make sense to be there, and they all go over the content listed in the previous paragraph.

4. Organization and writing quality

The organization in this article is good. It alines from the oldest event's bring before the war, into the more recent events being what happened after the war. The writing quality is good to. Everything is professional and it all makes sense. I didn't find any writing errors and the grammar was great.

5. Images and media

The imagines used are all professional. For the time of images being taken the quality is good. They all capture what the writing is talking about. The captions in the images also make sense and do really well at briefly describing the picture.

6. talk page discussion:

The talk page discussion goes over discussions on the topic of the article being WW II. The article is rated well because it goes over all the topics in the article and explains it well. There is a lot of sources in the article so if you may not trust Wikipedia you can look at those articles to find more and better information on specific things about WW II.

Overall impression:

The articles overall impression of this article is that it has solid information about WWII that can be used to start researching on it to get a general idea of what it was. The article can be improved by going into more detail about certain events that happened during the war. It just briefly goes over it then explains other things that happened during the war.
