Article Evaluation

edit

this is the evaluation for the wiki article about the Southern Student Organizing Committee.

  • Is everything in the article relevant to the article topic? Is there anything that distracted you? Everything in this article is relevant, but there are some spots where the paragraphs jump from point to point. The paragraphs need to possibly be split up or rearranged for better flow.
  • Is the article neutral? Are there any claims, or frames, that appear heavily biased toward a particular position? yes this article is nutral, there is one spot in the first paragraph that at first caught me as biased, but after further reading into it, I do not see it as biased, so maybe it should just be reworded or better explained so it does not seem that way.
  • Are there viewpoints that are overrepresented, or underrepresented? no
  • Check a few citations. Do the links work? Does the source support the claims in the article? yes the links work, but one you have to make an account to be able to view the citation information. They also do support the claims they are associated with. The article overall does need more citations though, it is even flagged at the top saying it needs more citations for validation.
  • Is each fact referenced with an appropriate, reliable reference? Where does the information come from? Are these neutral sources? If biased, is that bias noted? Not every fact is referenced and that is part of why it needs more sources for validation, there is no bias in this article, however one of the specific references is a book, which without reading the book I am not sure if that book is biased or not.
  • Is any information out of date? Is anything missing that could be added? no it is not out of date, but like I said above it does need more sources that would add to it.
  • Check out the Talk page of the article. What kinds of conversations, if any, are going on behind the scenes about how to represent this topic?  there is nothing going on, on the talk page.
  • How is the article rated? Is it a part of any WikiProjects? It is rated stub, mid importance level and it is a part of the WikiProject Politics.
  • How does the way Wikipedia discusses this topic differ from the way we've talked about it in class (if applicable)? NA
