 | Evaluate an article
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.
Overall impressions
Examples of good feedbackA good article evaluation can take a number of forms. The most essential things are to clearly identify the biggest shortcomings, and provide specific guidance on how the article can be improved. |

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
[edit](Briefly explain why you chose it, why it matters, and what your preliminary impression of it was.)
I chose women in Israel, because as a Jew, I think it's important for me to stay connected to my culture. I also already know a lot about the subject, so I figured that I can easily make positive changes to the article. I feel that the article lacked a lot of updated info, such as laws, other statistics they provided. They also lacked info about lesser known ethnic groups in Israel.

Introductory sentence is good, historical context is mentioned, along with politics and employment. There is no new information that isn't mentioned in the lead. The article is a good amount of concise. Content is relevant to Israel, but is not very up to date with modern statistics and laws. A lot of missing information on minority groups and other accomplished women. Article only shows mainstream narratives, doesn't speak about other minority groups too often. Article is generally neutral, has little to no bias, represents women, but lacking in descriptions of other minority groups. Many sources are valid but some are very outdated, especially when it comes to statistics. A small amount of minority sources. Better sources are available and will be added in an edit. Sections are Mostly clear but could be improved. Images are used and are not copyrighted. Many messages on the talk page say that the article needs to be revitalized, it currently has a C rating. It's different from our class in the sense that this article does not talk about minority groups at all or any diaspora between different ethnic groups in Israel. Overall, the article is moderately developed in demographics, laws, and historical context. It can be improved in the matters of the statistics, laws, minority groups, and its culture and media.
