I chose to evaluate this article because there is much content that can still be added and I feel that anarchism is a subject matter that deserves more attention.

Evaluate the article
The lead section of this article is pretty decent though I do see a few areas that could use improvement. While the lead section is conscience I feel there is room for improvement in its flow and sentence construction to increase its readability and make it sound more appealing. Furthermore, this section mentions the punk subcultures of the 1990's but the body of the article does not add much if any information about this point leaving the article feeling incomplete in its current form.

The content that is in this article appears to be of value to the topic and is organized well making it a relatively article to navigate. The article is noticeably incomplete making it a good candidate for further research and contribution. The content that is present is of relevance to the topic though as mentioned previously there is content mentioned in the lead section that is not present in the body of the article. The topic of this article clearly deals with an area of Wikipedia that is not fleshed out to its maximum potential making it a valuable starting place for further research.

The article is sufficiently neutral and does not leave me feeling that there is any particular biases left behind by it's contributors. However, due to the incomplete nature of the article there are naturally groups and point of views that are not present in the article. It is these gaps that I hope to fill in to give a more complete picture of the subject manner.

There is a reasonable variety of sources used ensuring that the article does not lean to heavily on any one source. The sources used are from sources that are informed of the subject matter and can be treated with a reasonable certainty of correct information. The links provided for sources function and redirect to the proper material. There are multiple instances of links to Wikipedia articles that do not seem to exist. I do not know if this is standard practice so that people know what information needs to be expanded upon or if this is something that should be rectified.

The article is organized in a logical and easy to track way conveying the information effectively. There do not appear to be any errors in spelling are as far as I can see grammar. There may be some minor ways to improve the flow of the writing though they are mostly a matter of opinion and do not reflect anything technically incorrect.

There is a lack of images in the article with only a single one being present. While this image is useful as it shows an example of a protest march and the flag of the anarchist movement there is still room for improvement in finding images that would add helpful context to the information conveyed in the article.

The conversation regarding this article has not been active in a significant amount of time with the last updates being in 2017. Most of the conversation centered around modifying links present in the article although back in 2006 there were complaints of a lack of neutrality. There was also a compliant about some grammatical problems. The things discussed seem to have been rectified and no further conversation has taken place since.

Overall the content that is present within the article seems to be in a reasonablestate. However, it is clear that the article needs to be expanded in order to encompass a more complete picture of the topic of the article.
