I chose this article because my topic has to do with restraining orders and domestic violence.

Evaluate the article
The lead is good. I like how it mentions that each state has different laws surrounding them. Most of the article is up to date. It is hard to always stay up to date when the law is always changing. I think there should be more information about how firearms play a role into restraining orders. I also think there needs to be more information about different state statutes. I skimmed it over and it seems to be written in a neutral tone. It seems to be mostly sourced, but there are a few places where citations are needed. The sources seem mostly up to date. They have good sections, but I think more information needs to be added to some of them. There is only one picture, but it's not super necessary. There haven't been conversations on the talk page for a while. But it just seems to be basic stuff like fixing minor issues. Overall, I think the page is good, but I think that there are some places where more information can be added.
