Evaluate the article
The lead begins with anarchism in relation to the arts, but offers no back round into what anarchism actually is. The lead seems to offer almost too much insight as to what the article is about, to the point where the lead is giving more information on some things than the rest of the entry, for example: there is a list of authors that contributed to anarchism in the arts, but their names are not brought up again in the actual article. This also means that there is information in the lead that is not present in the article. The lead is four paragraphs and includes unnecessary information.

It appears that all of the content is related to the topic. The article is relatively up to date, with sources at recent as 2019, and examples of anarchism in art up to 2002. There is a much more detailed explanation of anarchism in visual art than there is music. The visual arts go into different styles, but the music is not separated by anything (ex. genre). The final section of visual arts mentioned briefly a variety of new contemporary anarchist art styles, but gives no further explanation. It is not about a marginalized group but rather anarchism in the arts world wide.

The article has no emotion and does not appear to be attempting to convince the reader of anything. All of the information has a citation and has no conclusions drawn from the information provided.

Some of the citations are old, but they are balanced by ones that were published within the past few years. Of the two links that were were opened, one of them was an error page, and one of them was a link to a different Wikipedia article. Several other links takes the reader to not secure websites.

No spelling or grammar errors were found, but the organization is inconsistent. The visual art section was separated into six categories, each with at least one paragraph, while music stands on its own with gigantic disorganized section that is both unpleasant to look at and to read.

There are a considerable amount of images and they all are directly related to the topic. All of the images are taken from other Wikipedia pages.

The talk page is full of people suggesting anarchist art and artists that they think should have been included. Several of them have responses that say the artist should not actually be included. Almost all of the entries in the Talk page are unprofessional and have poor spelling and grammar. It also appears that at least one of the things in the Talk page have already been resolved.

There are a lot of examples provided which allows the reader to find lots of primary sources. It seems disorganized based on the extensive lead and the poor composition of the "Music" section. Several of the links do not work, which leaves the reader wondering how much of what they have read is actually accurate.
