Complete your article evaluation below. Here are the key aspects to consider: Lead sectionA good lead section defines the topic and provides a concise overview. A reader who just wants to identify the topic can read the first sentence. A reader who wants a very brief overview of the most important things about it can read the first paragraph. A reader who wants a quick overview can read the whole lead section.
ContentA good Wikipedia article should cover all the important aspects of a topic, without putting too much weight on one part while neglecting another.
Tone and BalanceWikipedia articles should be written from a neutral point of view; if there are substantial differences of interpretation or controversies among published, reliable sources, those views should be described as fairly as possible.
Sources and ReferencesA Wikipedia article should be based on the best sources available for the topic at hand. When possible, this means academic and peer-reviewed publications or scholarly books.
Organization and writing qualityThe writing should be clear and professional, the content should be organized sensibly into sections.
Images and Media
Talk page discussionThe article's talk page — and any discussions among other Wikipedia editors that have been taking place there — can be a useful window into the state of an article, and might help you focus on important aspects that you didn't think of.

[edit]- Lead Section: I liked the short descriptive nature of the lead section. It provides a concise introduction to the Chicano Movement and the impact its ha on the people.
- Content: The content is informative and covers various subjects about the movement. Whether it be objectives, political activism or student and youth organizations. It outlines the key events, organizations, and talks about them thoroughly.
- Tone and Balance: The tone of the article is neutral and highly informative. It presents historical information without apparent bias. It also provides a balanced overview of different aspects of the Chicano Movement, both social and political.

The article focuses on the general activist movements that fought to decrease the stereotypes and hate against American born Mexicans and those who identify with being Chicano.

- Sources and References: The article includes a list of references, which significantly increases its notability. There are lots of links and citations that allow the reader to easily navigate information that may be confusing or new.

Although, another downside is that this article does not have anybody asking questions in the talk page which makes you think about how many people have really seen this article and made changes.
