(Provide a link to the article here.) Pequot War

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
(Briefly explain why you chose it, why it matters, and what your preliminary impression of it was.) I chose this article because it directly relates on a big topic that we discussed in early U.S. history. I felt interested and wanted to expand my knowledge on the war. There are many wars throughout the early U.S. and each one should be studied in depth to know the differences and the importance of each.

Evaluate the article
(Compose a detailed evaluation of the article here, considering each of the key aspects listed above. Consider the guiding questions, and check out the examples of what a useful Wikipedia article evaluation looks like.) Everything in the article is relevant to the Pequot war. The article is very organized with information, and pictures are relevant. The article is well maintained date wise, as the last edit made was recent. The article is rated a B by wikipedia and I think that scores fits the article perfectly. I think that in the first opening paragraph, it should be clarified that New England was based off the New England colony in America. Other than that, both sides of the war seem to be represented well and fairly. Finally, out of the citations that I have viewed and clicked on, they all seem to still be functioning citations. Overall, this is a good article reflecting on the Pequot War.
