Evaluation[edit]

This article clearly explains what Narcotics Anonymous is for the first half of it. Mary Bolton, who founded Narcotics Anonymous in Ireland, does not have a working link. The article is neutral, going about the aspect of religion in this group in a neutral way, stating that God is part of it, but that participants can also choose to believe in a higher power instead of this. There are only a handful of images in this article, so it does not engage the reader as much as most articles, a few photos could be added to the history sections of this to make it more interesting, and display more context. This article has a wide array of sources (42) and further readings. It was last edited quite recently, only a few days prior to this review. Overall, except for the dead link to Mary Bolton, this article informs the reader of what NA is, and the history of the group. Indigo Rabbit (talk) 22:34, 19 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
