Article evaluation for the weeping woman- One thing about the article that distracted me was that there are two Picasso quotes used about Dora Maar and neither of them are put into good context. I think those quotes should have more explanation to go with them

The information is up to date, however there could be much more information about the style of the painting and the period of Picasso's career that it took place in. The article discusses Dora Maar too much and it could use more information about the painting such as the reception oft he painting or how much the Tate Modern bought it for.

The article is mostly neutral, at one point it says that it was the most complex painting in a series of Picasso's paintings however it does not justify or cite that claim.

The links on the citation work and support the article

Each fact is referenced with a citation but there are not that many facts that have been presented on the page

The talk page, in my opinion, was kind of a mess. It was comprised completely of people arguing over the significance of the symbols on the weeping woman's hat. It seemed like a nice conversation between Picasso fans but it did very little to advance the article especially considering the signage on the hat of the weeping woman and its significance does not necessarily need to be added to the page.
