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 personally greatly enjoy natural, un-posed, candid photographs. Candid photography has a long history, and the first person who came to my mind when I saw this listed was Henri Cartier-Bresson, who was briefly mentioned, but not talked about enough. I was a little disappointed to see that this article did not include very much information in general. I also feel like it did not include a lot of examples.

The lead is not very concise, and I feel as though it does not sum up the topic very well. It also does not provide a brief description of what to expect from the rest of the article.

There are only three references and several points/paragraphs are missing citations.

I also feel like there are not enough examples provided.

The "Decisive Moment" is also not elaborated upon enough I feel, as it plays a huge role in how photographers decide to take their photos.

I think an additional section could be added for photojournalism alone, as opposed to including it under "As an art form".
