Lead Section[edit]

Untitled[edit]

I like that you give a quick introduction to the World Bank and Argentina. However, that you specifically mention the partnership regarding the economic downfall in 2017 provokes the impression that this was the first time the institution and the country cooperated which is clearly not the case. Maybe give a quick introduction to the relationship between the World Bank and Argentina.

Clear Structure[edit]

The background and involvement are clearly separated. Both of these sections are making a clear point and are referring to something very particular. However, if you are talking about the background, it would be valuable not to only talk about economic developments that took place in Argentina, but to be specific about the background of the relationship between Argentina and the World Bank. You embedded other Wikipedia articles into yours, which is good.

Balanced Coverage[edit]

You balanced the background of Argentina and the World Bank involvement thoroughly giving each part approximately the same space. Both are important, and they are interrelated, so I think this is a good idea. However, you only used the World Bank as your source. This means that the content of your article will exclusively include information that has been published by the institution itself. This could lead to a lack of diversity in terms of perspective. You included the IMF & Argentina at the end, which is a good intent, but it does not belong to this Wikipedia article I suppose.

Neutral Content[edit]

You explained the economic history of Argentina that led to further World Bank involvement in detail, citing a lot of numbers, which is very good. This makes your article balanced. The language is mostly neutral. However sentences like "Through these loans the World Bank is aiding an overall economic step forward within the country" give the impression that you view the World Bank very favorably. This is likely because of the exclusive use of the World Bank as the source.

Reliable Sources[edit]

You only used the World Bank website as a source. This is good because it is very reliable. In the last two citations, you still need to add the access date to the website. It might also be a good idea to look for one or two sources outside the World Bank website.

1. very good lead section, I like the idea that you introduced the World Bank before getting into the specifics of its relationship with Argentina. 2. Good structure, your headings reflect the content of the paragraph. 3: This article is supposed to be focused on the World bank, and most of it is, but at the end there is a whole section dedicated to the IMF, and I don't think it belongs there, maybe focus on specific projects the World Bank has with Argentina. 4. The language you use is objective overall. 5. Your sources are definitely reliable but maybe try to find an article that doesn't come from the World Bank.
