Peer Review
[edit]I really enjoyed this piece, and I think that it is in good shape. The lead is concise and maps out what is talked about in the other sections of the wikipedia page. The writing is clear and balanced, stating facts and explanations rather than expressing opinions. Moving forward it might be good to look over the citations used in the published page. Many of them are from news sources (and I know that citation 13 did not work for me when I tried clicking it). Additionally, I saw that two of your sources in the sandbox are from 2009 and 2016, so if you look to add more information, it may be good to use more recent studies. If you are looking to add information somewhere, you could consider looking at what political leaders think of the group. It might add a contrasting perspective or show obstacles in the group's way. It might be good to also add a short sentence in the lead about the financial security aspect of the group. That being said, I think that this article is well-developed. The sections are digestible and offer a more holistic image of the Gulabi Gang. Lfsq22 (talk) 17:03, 12 April 2023 (UTC)

[edit]Lead: The lead is a great general introduction to what the Gulabi Gang is and what their mission/methods are.It clearly has been updated to include later paragraphs in the article in a neat and precise way and gives a brief description of what is to come in the article. The group solidarity section could use a better introductory sentence-- it feels like readers are just randomly thrown into Sampat Pal Devi's claim. Maybe adding another reminder of who she is by just adding (, the founder,)?
Content: The content is extremely relevant to the topic and includes all of the necessary content. The Gulabi Gang is a perfect representation of an underrepresented group as it focuses on women in lower caste politics.
Tone and Balance: Overall, I think the article is balanced, however, it may be interesting to get and investigate sources that are not just pro-Gubali. There are a lot of quotes and ideas revolving around the founder, Sampat Pal Devi. I think it may be interesting to have a section focusing on their backlash to neutralize the article more.
Sources and References: All sources are live, correct to accurate sources, and reflect what the source says. However, I cannot open any of the links from the current references section. You clearly are using articles from marginalized voices as well as making sure that you're articles are peer-reviewed.
Organization: The layout of the article is perfect. It is super clear and concise-- super easy to read and understand!
Images and Media: I'd love another photo of women in the pink saris together or the women working in the small businesses-- the article almost feels like the Gubali Gang is more of a community than a gang that fights social justice. Both, I think, are true but adding more images may help sell that.
