 * Name of article: (Women's suffrage)
 * I have chosen this article because it focuses on different forms of war that women faced and the effects of these wars.

Lead

 * Guiding questions


 * This article gave a brief overview of what they article is going to be about. However, introducing the article with a link to a speech without and heads up may catch the reader off guard.
 * The lead does give a description of the sections, however, mostly on the history of the topic.
 * The lead has enough information for the reader to get an idea or look into what the topic will be about even if they may not read any further.

Content

 * Guiding questions
 * The articles content is relevant to the topic by introducing important events leading up to the issue that is being spoken about in the article. However, since religion was not mentioned in the lead or introductory section of the article, it was confusing in terms of where it fits into the narrative of women voting and its relevance. Having only one section with all timelines might be helpful instead of two. Adding more people who were involved in these movements would be even more informing.

Tone and Balance

 * Guiding questions

The article seems to be neutral for the most part, but certain sentences may seem biased. Most countries that was included in the research seemed more represented than others, including more information and sources than others. The article did a good job with the information provided without trying to persuade the reader into thinking a certain way.

Sources and References

 * Guiding questions
 * Some of the sources that are used in the article states that they need more citation verification which may mean they are not fully reliable. Many of the sources are articles that may seem biased and one sided in the topic. Some of the sources are recent but not be reliable sources. Sources were introduced that needed to be clarified more to understand its relevance to the topic.

Organization

 * Guiding questions

The article was easy to read, but lack information in certain places such as contents about non-religion and religion associations to the topic. The least important sections seem to have more information or focused on more than those that should be more important. For example, Suffrage movement vs Timeline sections.

Images and Media

 * Guiding questions

The images did help with the understanding of the topic and were well captioned to help understand its relevance. All photos could be found in a location that could be viewed throughout the reading process of the article.

Checking the talk page

 * Guiding questions

Conversations about re-doing the lead is present and a possibility of re-doing the timeline since other wikipedias did not think the one that was present in the article was done correctly or could improve visual wise. The article is rated as B-Class and included in the WikiProjects Feminism, WikiProjects Human Rights, and WikiProjects Women's history.

Overall impressions

 * Guiding questions

The articles strength is that it has a lot of information but organization and priority of content may be needed. Major topics that are mentioned in the content section had little information, for example, has only one sentence.
