Evaluate the article
Lead section - The lead section has a good amount of detail pertaining to third wave feminism. It gives specific background behind third-wave feminism while also providing its broad history. The lead never goes off topic.

Content - There is a lot of information presented on this page, all related to third-wave feminism. There doesn't seem to be any subtopics that don't belong, at least as far as I see. The content makes references to pretty recent events, so it is likely up do date in general.

Tone and balance - There does seem to be some bias in the article. There are a few points in the article where there are opinionated criticisms that are generalized to certain topics. But being based on a political topic, some of the opinions or criticisms seem to not have as much bias since they have been contextualized as the opinion of a certain group of people. There are some points in the article where it is explicit what groups of people potential hold some points of view. Otherwise, the article consists mostly of facts and doesn't seem to be geared towards persuading any readers.

Sources and references - All the sources seem to be coming from credible sources, whether they are from academic journals, established organization websites, or from established news outlets. When sources do not link to these kinds of places, they usually link to other Wikipedia articles. This makes up the majority of the links in the article. Some of the sources don't have very much information on them since they are about very specific things. The articles come from many different authors from multiple different time periods.

Organization and writing quality - The article is mostly concise and is divided respectively into many different subtopics. Each subtopic contributes a decent amount of information to the main topic as a whole and doesn't overlap too much with other subtopics.

Images and media - There are not too many images and of the images that are there a majority of them are of women related to the feminist movement. Each has a brief description of what is being featured in the image and provides links to the images within the bounds of Wikipedia copyright regulations.

Talk page discussion - All of the edits made to the article were done as assignments from the Wiki Education Foundation. The rating of the article is somewhat low; Wikipedia gave it a C, and said that there are subtopics missing.

Overall Impressions - it seems to me that the article is pretty extensive, but given that the topic of third-wave feminism is pretty broad, there can be a lot of information that is missing. The rating is a level 5 vital article. There are some sections of the article that seem a little scarce, at least compared to other sections. More information in these sections would be helpful.
