Article title: Communism in Malaysia
Article Evaluation: The lead provides a good, brief overview with a concise first sentence. It is missing a more in depth historical breakdown including its origins and the Malayan Emergency. The sources are mainly by Western authors, and could potentially benefit from Eastern scholarship given the region.
Sources: Weiss, Meredith L. 2020. “Legacies of the Cold War in Malaysia: Anything but Communism.” Journal of Contemporary Asia 50 (4): 511–29. doi:10.1080/00472336.2019.1709128.:Yong, C. F. “Origins and Development of the Malayan Communist Movement, 1919-1930.” Modern Asian Studies 25, no. 4 (1991): 625–48. http://www.jstor.org/stable/312747.

Article title: Popular Socialist Party (Haiti)
Article Evaluation: The lead has a somewhat poor flow, with a weak introductory sentence.:The article states that the party was suppressed by "the regime". It has no further details on how, or who "the regime" is.:This article is a stub, and has no sources.
Sources: Pamphile, Leon D. Contrary Destinies: A Century of America’s Occupation, Deoccupation, and Reoccupation of Haiti.

Article title: Military Committee of the Congolese Party of Labour
Article Evaluation: The body of the article is unbalanced. It lists the membership of the military committee without talking about why it came about or its policies.
Sources: I struggled to find sources for this article.

Article title: Politics of Asia
Article Evaluation: This article has no peer reviewed sources. It lacks balance, and needs sections on some of the information mentioned in the lead like colonialism, independence movements, and tensions between countries.

Article title: Le Chan (general)
Article Evaluation: This is a red article, and doesn't exist yet. However, on the Vietnamese Wiki, it has a long page!:https://vi.wikipedia.org/wiki/L%C3%AA_Ch%C3%A2n:The Vietnamese article has an excellent lead, as well as sections about her early life, life as a general, and position as a figure of worship.:However, it is lacking in credible sourcing.
