Which article are you evaluating?
Corsican Guard

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I clicked through some links and I've heard of it before.

Lead
The lead is very concise, which is good as the article itself is quite short. It meets all expectations, quickly covering the entire subject matter and giving the reader a fairly general but informative intro to the topic.

Content
The content is solid and up to date, but not all of it is relevant. The article spends far too much time describing the origin of Corsica before it even dabbles in the Corsican Guard. It continues to dwell too much on Corsicans in general rather than the Corsican Guard itself. The section on the end of the Guard, however, is on topic, but far longer than the relevant sections on their formation. The article also lacks any heading on the time in between the end of the beginning and the beginning of the end, but considering the guars only existed for around 60 years, this is excusable.

Tone and Balance
As previously stated, the article overrepresents the end of the guard and underrepresents its origin. Aside from that, there are no issues with the toneand balance.

Sources and References
The article is very well referenced for one so short. The sources are all valid and real, and everything is cited.

Organization and Writing Quality
The article is well organized, despite only having a section for the Guard's formation and end. That is simply all there seems to be of the Corsican Guard. The writing is high-quality.

Images and Media
There are many images present, and they're all fairly good for the article. However, there is a map of Corsica, which has dubious relevance in relation to the Guard.

Talk Page
There is no talk. There seem to be very few editors, and they are lucky to be of a similar mind so the article is cohesive.

Overall
The article is adequate. It does a good job of detailing the history of a rather obscure topic, but it struggles with relevance. It can be improved by trimming the irrelevant parts and adding more depth between the formation and end of the Guard. Another section would be useful for that. The article is simply underdeveloped.
