Which article are you evaluating?
Aestheticism - Wikipedia

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose it because it was the precursor to decadence, the course's main enterprise. Aestheticism is a core part of decadence so it matters much. I was happy with the many citations that pop up when first beginning the wiki page.

Evaluate the article
The leading section does give a good overview of the topic and a concise starting sentence. It does touch certain points that can be found in the other sections of the page but not all of them. It is not overly detailed. The tone of the page is appropriately neutral and well organized. Present are also numerous relevant images which are laid out in a pleasing way and are appropriately titled. They are either under public domain, CC-BY-SA, Flickr, and connect from Wikimedia commons. The sources range from books to articles and more. The sources worked although one or two that I clicked on no longer did.

In the talk page there are comments regarding the appropriateness of certain thing's place in the page and small edits following that thread of thought. The page is also part of the WikiProject Philosophy and Visual art.

I found there to be many citations in the beginning sections of the page but less so when I got further down. I also feel that there could be more information given in the last section which only contains one (long) sentence.
