Which article are you evaluating?
Art in the women's suffrage movement in the United States

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 have chosen it because I have an interest in art and its influence. Art was used as a tool during the suffrage movement to help aid the cause. The article itself was short and could use more information

 * In the lead section, the starting two sentences are similar and could be condensed into one.
 * The lead section makes a slight mention of art being used as propaganda, but is used more as background information of the movement itself. An edit could be made to include more information of the article and mention the two artists that are talked about. Perhaps create a section at the beginning including the information of the suffrage movement instead of going straight into Propaganda.
 * I would like to see more information of the two artists presented.
 * Writing could be edited to be more concise.
 * There are sentences that read more like analysis rather than fact (see the last line in the section for music).
 * Good usage of photos, but would also like to see one for the postcards section.
 * Links to citations work. However, not entirely sure if an article from the New York Times would be considered the best source to use in this case.
 * In the talk page, there were comments about how the article does not fit the tag for worldview and was originally titled "Art in the Women’s Suffrage Movement." Given what seems to be a limited amount of information found on this topic so far, it was a wise decision to make this page more specific.
 * Overall, it feels like a good start to the page. More research can be done to include more information and sections can be expanded upon, maybe including more examples.
