Mikhail Gorbachev

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
After browsing the "social sciences" portal of Wikipedia, a biography of Mikhail Gorbachev was featured under "socialism." I have previously written a paper on glasnost and thought the article might be well-structured and interesting.

Evaluate the article
The lead section contains a concise, yet detailed overview of the article. The body contains relevant sections in chronological order and takes into account historical significance. Many of the sources seem appropriately up to date, given Gorbachev's political significance in the late 20th century. The writing style is neutral, concise, and informative. All images are laid out throughout the article on both sides, their placements corresponding to the article itself. All images are well-captioned. The article is a part of several WikiProject relating to politics, the Soviet Union, Socialism, etc., and is rated GA-class, top importance for most projects. Its current status is "good article," and seeing as it is a featured article of a very well-known and recent political figure, it has many strengths and appears to be sufficiently complete. However, the Talk page does say that its contents are controversial and under dispute, so some modification could still improve it.
