This article talks about townships which involves urban politics and sounded interesting. There was also a section about Michigan townships that interested me.

Evaluate the article
The article is weak and could be strengthened. To begin with theres not a good lead laying out what the article is going over. It jumps straight into translating Civil Townships into Russian without much explanation. There was a source for the information at least. The article then talks about Illinois and Michigan Townships and only covers 4 states, they could organize all the states and give more basic info rather than just a few states. There's not much explanation about townships in general so going straight to Michigan and Illinois doesn't make sense. Theres quite a few missing sources as well which isn't acceptable but there was a source for the Michigan section at least. There's also no images and the layout is scrambled and not organized. Having a stronger layout that is more structured, including images and adding every state/general info would help this article.
