Which article are you evaluating?
(Provide a link to the article here.) Aztec clothing

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 based off the search for an article via History, and I have recently studied the Aztecs in another class. This topic matters because of the initial destruction of Aztec history and gaining a deeper understanding of the culture. My preliminary impression is it covers an adequate amount of information with little bias.

Evaluate the article
(Compose a detailed evaluation of the article here, considering each of the key aspects listed above. Consider the guiding questions, and check out the examples of what a useful Wikipedia article evaluation looks like.) The fist sentence in the lead section is concise, but the section as a whole sounds a little repetitive in wording. The content was interesting and covered several aspects of Aztec clothing. However it would be interesting to learn if there were any other genders besides male and female visible in that location/era, and if so, how did clothing alter with that if at all? I'm not sure if hairstyles matches the main topic, but it still works. The tone and balanced seemed neutral and put an equal emphasis on men and women, while also a small portion on children and coming of age. It might be interesting to add an emphasis on the elderly if there is any change in clothing. There is also a mention of the Spanish's role in the destruction or demise of certain practices, which remains neutral in tone but pays tribute to the original culture. The sources and references are outdated, with the newest being 2012, the links do work. The organization is fine, but the writing quality could be better as it sounds repetitive sometimes or a little bland. The images provided are helpful and clear, but the captions read as a little too casual for a reliable source. I couldn't tell if the photos were cited, but nothing was missing an image due to it being removed. There was little discussion under the talk page, and it was mainly used for course assignments. This article was overall okay, it needs some improvements such as rephrasing sections and picking one tense or identifying why present tense is being use (such as a tradition still being practiced or designs being used). It could also sound more complete if it covered a few more areas of intersectionality such as older people as well as those in a third gender (if apart of the culture or under a more specific name), etc.
