Article Evaluations
The article I chose to read and evaluated was an article about Collectivization in the Soviet Union. This was an obvious choice based on the film and the articles we read this week. As for the article, it matched up with everything we read about collectivization. The article talks about how they peasants were forced into collectivization even though they didn't agree with it. I also liked that it gave the stat about the death toll during that time. I went back and checked to see if those stats were correct and articles that matched up with that number. Another thing that it confirmed is the fact that the movie "Earth" may have portrayed the actual collectivization era incorrectly. In the movie it shows a willingness from the peasants to move while multiple article state otherwise. I went back and check on the sources from this article and they were all from academic articles. I really like how in depth and informative this page was. You can tell people really researched and took the time out to make sure all the facts were true facts.The article even included charts with additional information. It would be really easy to make up facts during this article, and people do that all throughout Wikipedia articles, but this one was well thought out and researched.
