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.

Global Poverty and Practice
Sector article : Palliative care
Area article : Healthcare in India
India in Global Studies
Article: Ayushman Bharat Yojana
Global Poverty and Practice
Sector: I chose this article because it provides a comprehensive review of the scope and history of as well as the relevant practices and approaches in palliative care. I found the descriptions of the pediatric subspecialty of palliative care and the analysis of access and reach through popular media to be interesting additions.
Area: This article matters because it draws attention to healthcare specifically in India with special attention to the history of the country's health policy and programs for the employed and unemployed. By splitting by regional interventions and distinction between rural and urban areas, this article proved to be an interesting read.
India in Global Studies
I chose this article because it outlines the history, features, implementations, and challenges of the Ayushman Bharat Yojana program effectively as a public health insurance scheme designed to provide free access to health insurance coverage for people who are categorized as low income earners.
Sector article:
Content
Everything included in the article was relevant to the topic of palliative care. However, a description of geriatric palliative care and interventions in that field could have included considering a section on pediatric palliative care was available and a large percentage of the elderly population face life-limiting illnesses anyway so information on approaches specific to that population should have been available. Although some interventions and symptom management was discusses in reference to all patients seeking palliative, a section that went into even more detail, as done with the pediatric specialty, detailing communication and management procedures specific to the elderly could have been discussed.
Tone
The tone was pretty neutral. There were not any claims that seemed heavily biased.
Sources
The sources are largely neutral, support the claims in the article, and come from a diverse array of authors and publications.

Area article:
Content
The article was provided great information about the healthcare system in India as well as relevant policy, regulations, and regional differences in access and quality of care received. It was additionally very well written and easy to follow with ample headings and subheadings. A history section could be added to follow the changes in India's healthcare system over time. What I liked most about the article was the attention to detail in accounting for factors specific to various regional areas, such as North and South India as well as rural and urban areas, in India and the focus on specific healthcare challenges such as pediatric and women's health and malnutrition.

The talk page is mainly composed of reorganizational conversations and peer reviews.
India article:
Content
The article explains the history, features, implementations, and challenges of the Ayushman Bharat Yojana program with information that was relevant to the topic of India's universal health policy and health insurance scheme. The topic is mostly up-to-date with the history section detailing information as recently as 2020, but if significant changes or updates have taken place since then, those should also be included in the article. I think that the inclusion of a challenges section was important in contextualizing the implementation of the program.
Tone
The tone was neutral. There were not any claims that seemed heavily biased. By presenting the challenges of the program instead of talking solely about the program's benefits, the article was able to remain neutral.
