Which article are you evaluating?
Ernesto Giménez Caballero

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article because I researched a film of his for my course on city symphonies. It is one of the only such films that captures Madrid during that time and provides an insight into both the filmmaker and the era. My preliminary impression is that the article focused was rather brief and made very little mention of Gimenez Caballero's time in the arts (important as that is how he made his name), almost entirely focusing on his political career (and even that is rather skimmed through).

Evaluate the article
There is a concise and easily understandable lead section. Content is little lacking in information of his actual movement and a lot is placed on his ideology. Though diplomat and director are mentioned in the lead section, they are not expanded on beyond a sentence or two in the body of the article. Tone is relatively neutral and tends to state facts. It does reference one of the subject's actions as "bizarre", which is a sentence that is also oddly placed as the first sentence of a section where it does not follow through with it. Sources (in Spanish and English) are from different academic journals, which mean they are credible sources with varying viewpoints. There is no conversation on the talk page. If it were me, I would reorganize the article on a more chronological timeline and include ideology under as a separate section from his movements. For example, currently, his military service has its own section but only one sentence of content, and would be better as a separate paragraph under early life.

The article's current status is C-class. Its strengths are that it situates the subject very well with the historical and political landscape of Spain. It is currently underdeveloped, and could improve by reorganization and more space provided to his notable pursuits and writing and film.
