Article Evaluation: Five-year plan for the nation economy of the Soviet Union.
When I went to the talk tab before reading the article the overview was something new and exciting. Talks about how the United States funded factories and machinery by big names like Ford and General Motors to name a few were eye-popping. It raised some eyebrows and made you wonder why this information was disregarded. Some even believed the five-year plan was a success but there was also some copyright issues according to an editor. From the start of the article, everything was easy to read. The author gives the background of Stalin, what the plan was for and how it would be executed, and the positives and negatives from it. One of the weakness that I saw was the sources were a little hard to locate. Some of the books you had to purchase and that was irritating. I've read a few other articles where the source would pop up automatically and you could locate where the Wikipedian cited from. We live in an era where information or assurance of what someone else said needs to be located rapidly. Furthermore, there were places where citations were needed but for the most part, I enjoyed what I read. I didn't feel that the person was being biased nor did you feel any tension in tone. You could tell that the author of this article did a lot of research from the references.
