 * Name of article: Mouride
 * The article's was about the Mourides and the Economy influence of Mourides to Senegal, what is a mouride, how they came about. Essentially it talks about the history of Mouride ("one who desires)

Lead
The lead talks about what is a Mouride, what area they started in and their religious belief. The lead does not talk about what will be included in other sections

Content
The article used a varying amount of sources that are mostly between 2000s-2010s. Some sources are from the late 1990's. The subtopics create a coherent understanding of Mouride. ALthough I would like to see a section dedicated to how Mouride is today.

Tone and Balance
The article is not biased toward a particular view. Most points that were made were factual and overall the article maintains a neutral tone.

Sources and References
The Sources used were reliable but References to the sources were lacking. For example, some references are missing URL and some references were not inline.

Organization
The organization is fine. The article is organized from introducing what Mouride is, then goes into the history -> structure -> beliefs of Mourides and lastly influence on Senegal. I think they should put beliefs after history.

Images and Media
They article uses images that are relevant to the text. For example, images include important political figures that influenced Mouride and important landmarks ( capital of Senegal )

Checking the talk page
The Talk page is filled with conversations between different people. Based on the talk page the article was a group history class project. The talk page includes links to helpful resources and an area where people give suggestions to other people.

Overall impressions
The article as a whole was not so bad. The article did a good job of helping me understand what a Mouride is. But some areas where the article needs improvement include when referencing articles, ( they need to add URLS). The lack of correctly referenced sources makes the article less reliable. Another point of emphasis is the lead which does a good job introducing the topic but not other sections. They need to add a section that discusses how Mouride is in modern date ( for example how many people are Mouride, population, political leader, etc)
