Which article are you evaluating?
Music in the Tuva Republic

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
It is relevant to my chosen musical culture (it IS my chosen musical culture). However it seems to be rather. small and lacklustre as far as solid sources go. Which, while initially disappointing, will make it a good target for this. project as I will be able to help make it better.

Evaluate the article
The first thing I noted was the length of the article. While it was not quite a stub, it certainly was not long enough to be considered a properly complete article. There are long sections of text with no citations, and in some cases not even hyperlinks to other wikipedia articles. I have looked into it a little bit and I believe that I should at least be able to link some more articles and, pending a little more digging and posting on the talk pages, I should be able to even provide some sources that are not yet listed below the article. One issue I imagine I will come up against is that this is somewhat. of an anthology article, it is a basic overview of music in the Tuva Republic in general, there are links to a lot of other articles that may be relevant, such as traditional instruments, styles, groups, and traditions. Due to this, a lot of the descriptions of these things are pretty general, and could be expanded upon. I have identified a few places where I may be able to go in and find some more articles, or some more external sources. I may even hav to create some articles for a few things where the links where incomplete or non-existant. I also could find some more photographs, and links to videos depicting some traditional music.

Generally speaking, the writing is well done, neutral, and direct. However, the talk page is lacking. There is some evidence of meaningful discussion but again, where there is not too much. information on the page itself, there is not much more in the talk page, nor has there been much review or changing of information. Most of the fixes have been technical, a misspelled word here, a broken link there. Overall not a lot of activity.
