Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article because I didn't know anything about Little Rock, Arkansas. This article matters because of Arkansas' standing as a recognized status as a State within the United States of America. Little Rock's is important because of it being the populated city in the state of Arkansas. My preliminary impression of this article is that it's well cited but the order of information seems to not flow well, but overall it's well written and has useful information.

Lead Section
The introduction sentence does introduce the relevance and importance of the topic in a clear and concise manner. The lead section covers some content sections in the article but doesn't mention "Little Rock Desegregation Crisis", "Economy", and "Education" to name a few sections left out. All information mentioned in the lead section is also mentioned throughout the article.

Content
All content in this article relate to the topic and are relevant to different interest areas surrounding the topic. The article was last updated September 6th, 2023 and would appear to be up to date and not missing any key content sections. But content issues related to original research raises concerns about the validity of content. This article does mention historically underrepresented groups, specifically in the "Little Rock Desegregation Crisis" section.

Tone and Balance
Throughout the article a mostly consistent neutral tone in maintained. I was unable to identify any claims that seemed to contain heavy bias or persuasive language. It did seem though the "Little Rock Desegregation Crisis" could have had more content due to its national relevance.

Sources and References
There is a sufficient number of references that cite the information in the article. Sources are mostly scholarly with some be from the media. Does need some in text citations but for volume of information pretty well cited.

Organization and writing quality
This article is both clear and concise as well as easy to read. The organization of the article was a little confusing with sections that don't seem as important having large headers.

Images and Media
The images included in the article do enhance the understanding of the article and have captions that describe the images adequately. The lay out of images flows well with content but more images could be added to better enhance the readers understanding.

Talk Discussion Page
The talk page has many different discussions all relevant to content in page including visual aids and content to be edited and added. I does not seem this article is apart of any wikiprojects.

Overall Impression
This article is well done with the volume of information included. Could use some alterations and citations but reads very well and has plenty of sources.
