(Aid to Families with Dependent Children)

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
(Briefly explain why you chose it, why it matters, and what your preliminary impression of it was.)

I chose this law because I think its important part of the financial reform that came about during the New Deal era. I also wanted to make sure that there was accurate information. I believe its important for anyone who does a search to find information about the law that represents the reason why the law was enacted and that there aren't bias included in the information. My preliminary impression of it was that it wasn't a bad page but it could use more information. Especially in the lead section a law that was in place from 1935-1997 I think could have a bit more information.

I think the article could have been written in a more fluid way. The flow of the article could have been better, I think that the lead section could have included more information about when the law was enacted and how it became apart of the New Deal. I think that there could have been a more array of references from different authors and official congressional information on its development. I think that the criticism section could be removed. I don't think its adds to the information and could allow the reader to develop guided opinions. This articles talk page had a lot of information from different wiki editors discussing how they felt it was a racist or bias article. This article was rated "start class" and of "low importance" which I think could be improved with the proper research and information added and a more organization to the flow to the layout.
