Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article because of how it is directly linked to the class subject and goes into great detail about the history of China's cinema and the influences of politics, societal issues and changes.

Evaluate the article
The lead section of the article was overly detailed. While it included some very important information, it wasn't a brief introduction, more so an entire section describing notable films from each decade and the effect of the Chinese Communist Party on not only the industry but the films as well. In the body of the article there was a lot of focus on generations of directors and political and communist influence on Chinese Cinema, yet two to three sentences maximum on sections relating to each era of animated cinema--which in itself was an odd decision, the focus should have been on all genres and not solely animation because there is so little to write about, or completely scraped out of the article. The citations list was extensive, but not all of them were from reliable sources. Overall, I feel as though the article has a good start, but a lot of work still needs to be done like making sure all of the information are from reliable sources, and shortening the intro and make the length of each section less choppy in length. There was a good amount of pictures in the beginning but stopped once it reached the incredibly long paragraphs in the middle. and made a good use of table graphs for box office sales in the country.
