Which article are you evaluating?
1927 Liberian general election

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I am interested in Liberia, I had saw the article and I wondered why there was an entire article about it, and it was very surprising because I had never heard of it. Because it was so interesting and new to me, the limited nature of it had me asking a lot of questions afterwards.

Evaluate the article
The lead is good, however it does not mention the only section of the article which is "aftermath." I am unsure if the content is up to date since it is about a historical event, however, it doesn't include much information about the election itself or who the candidates and parties were. The article is neutral, however most of the sources are journalistic or just webpages, there are few scholarly sources. The sources are also not current or very diverse, and information about their authors are not present. The writing of the article itself is clear and concise, and the images and media are relevant and enhance the article. There are few posts on the talk page, however it is a part of the Africa wikiproject and the election referendum wikiproject. I think that the article itself is quite barebones and could use a lot of work to be improved. The sources need more ethos and there can be quite a bit more information added as a whole. It could be more well-developed, but the information on the page already is quite interesting.
