Which article are you evaluating?
Indigenous land rights

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article because I don't believe in the government trying to take indigenous land, I find this topic interesting because I don't have a huge amount of background knowledge so I am excited to learn more about it. This is also an important topic because it affects many people, so hopefully being able to add to this wikipedia page will help me and others learn about indigenous land rights. This article has 9 references which is pretty substantial, it also has various other external links which relate to the topic.

Evaluate the article
Overall this article does not have that much information. The lead section is probably the strongest part of the article, it covers the basic information in a concise way and covers only what is going to be in the article. The content of this article, though minimal, is informative and is about Indigenous land rights in various places. The tone and balance of this article is definitely neutral because its mostly just about facts as its referring to laws. None of the references were articles written in the past ten years, so I would be interested to see how more updated sources would affect this article. This article is well organized, the sections are broken down by international, common, and civil law, then within these sections its broken down by country. The writing quality is also good, I did not spot any grammatical errors. The images portion of this article is lacking, there are no pictures. The talk space is also quite minimal, there are a few posts but not that much. Overall the article needs a lot of work, the information it has now is good but it definitely needs a lot added to it.
