Article Evaluation, History of the People's Republic of China:

 * History of the People's Republic of China
 * What I plan to contribute to the article
 * early communist policies under the sub-section, "1949-1976: Socialist transformation under Mao Zedong
 * find a citation for the last paragraph when "others" is referenced without indicating just who that "other" is
 * mention the New Democracy
 * add "gentry" to the "landlords" link; it would make it more specific
 * put a link for "collectivization"

Article Evaluation, Bolsheviks:

 * The level of formatting is appropriate


 * Accessible and working links make it easy to navigate to other pages that would help the reader gain more information
 * Summary up top provides enough information without going to heavily into any subset
 * It's great that it's part of a larger series, Marxism-Leninism because it allows for more information to be linked and therefore seen by others
 * As a reader, when I see large blocks of texts with no formatting, my eyes tend to glaze over.
 * Not saying that the information needs to be edited down or written at a lower reading level but it should be formatted in a way that draws the reader in and maintains an even flow
 * This article does a good job with presenting the facts in a non-partisan way.
 * Specifically in the section titled "Beginning of the 1905 Revolution (1903-1905)" there might be a tendency to make assumptions based on what those statistics could mean.
 * I would like to see a section that had a detailing of who was involved in Bolshevism because those links would provide, in my opinion, valuable connections to other articles on Wikipedia.
 * As far as bias in other places, in the section titled "History of the Split" there is an opinion that positions Lenin in a negative light. The quote itself reads, "A main source of the factions could be directly attributed to Lenin's steadfast opinion and unwillingness to 'bear opinions which were contrary to his own'". This is not so much stating a fact about Lenin's life or about the party he was apart of but making a guess as to his personal life and attitudes. This is already flagged with an [attribution needed] citation and I think the paragraph could be rephrased in a more non-partisan way.
