Evaluate the article
LEAD: I thought the lead of this article was very informative and easy to understand. It has a brief description to explain what photograph manipulation is, and then it dives right into the different ways in which one can use it, which helps set the scene and describe what's going on. I enjoy how it talks about the pros and cons to photograph manipulation, often we only hear about the cons in society, so it was a nice refresher to hear some of the ways in which it has been celebrated.

CONTENT: All of the content is relevant to the topic, the article discusses many different types of manipulation, and remains unbiased in its delivery. It discusses the history, the different institutions and how they've used manipulation, 21st century examples; all of which help the reader understand what photograph manipulation is. They even discuss digital fakes, which is a related, and new, method of photograph and video manipulation, which was a nice surprise. It includes a link to Deepfakes, which confirms to me that this information is up to date.

TONE AND BALANCE: as stated above, it's unbiased and easy to understand.

SOURCES AND REFERENCES: Many difference sources and references were found in this article, a good mix of political, gender balance, and pop culture references that help created a rounded idea of photograph manipulation.

ORGANIZATION AND WRITING QUALITY: This article was very easy to understand and I believe that anyone would be able to learn and take away a lot of knowledge from this article.

IMAGES AND MEDIA: The images and media on this article really help the viewer understand what happens with manipulation, and how it can be used in many different ways to convey many different messages.

TALK PAGE DISCUSSION: Good communication and discussion about what should and shouldn't be added to the page. Some people discuss whether certain things should be added, and if people disagree, their conversation seem to be civil, in other scenarios, they've offered up alternative ideas on how to move forward with certain ideas. For example, they've discussed adding a current events tab to reference news stories about manipulation, and then continue to update it as time goes on.

OVERALL IMPRESSIONS: Strong ideas and easily understood, even for those who may be unfamiliar with the idea. I love how they incorporated so many different perspectives, it really gives the reader a better idea of what it's all about.
