Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
(Briefly explain why you chose it, why it matters, and what your preliminary impression of it was.)

I chose this article because home economics was the start of the family consumer science. There is many parts of this area and how it has branched out. The talk page of this article had many ideas about what others thought to as well.

When evaluating this article I saw that it offered a great amount of information about the history and how it all started, the terminology, how it is in different countries, and the present of Family and Consumer Science. I think when reading about the countries and the 21st century it definitely can be updated to more recent times. Throughout the article the tone is presented factual and clear so nothing is overdone or underdone. It gives the same length of light to each country being told and how home economics is there. I do like how when they talk about a person, association, or something else the reader would like to know more about there are links to that topic/person. The links and sources all seem relative to home economics or towards something that has been branched off of it. Those in the talk section really had some ways to better the article and make it more relevant and findable. It's also been in other wikiprojsects that have been using this topic to better branch off to make a more specific topic that has been derived from it.
