User:Vamendolia/Evaluate an Article

Which article are you evaluating?
1st Cavalry Regiment (United States)

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this topic because I am interested in History and the American Civil War. I chose this Regiment specifically because it is the oldest cavalry battalion. When the page first loaded, my first impression was, wow what a cool symbol as there symbol is a Dragon even though they road horses. Since the picture got me interested I read the introductory paragraph and learned that they were call the "First Regiment of Dragoons".

Evaluate the article
This Wikipedia page in my opinion is very good. When looking at it, the lead section gives you just enough information to lead you into looking further down the page and is concise while doin so. There is a lot of information in this article which I feel is good and bad. As while you do get a lot of information, at some points it can be only text for a while so it can strain your eyes looking at the screen constantly reading. The tone of the article is neutral as it just gives you information on the regiment. The sources work when you click on them, however there is an overlap in the sources used most them being the military. I have a problem with the organization with the constant text. The images are good when there and are well captioned. So overall I believe it is a great article with very few things I would change.
