Article Evaluation
For my article evaluation, I read Slavery in the Spanish New World Colonies. This article has a lot of information that is hyperlinked to other articles in Wikipedia. This can be distracting to the reader as it is a lot of information not discussed in the reading but just introduced by the editor. However, the editor did a very good job at staying neutral and focusing on slavery in the new world. They backed up their information with cited sources and footnotes. They made sure to add at least 1 to 2 footnote for each paragraph. The editor included scholarly sources such as Latin Americans Studies and books that focus on African slavery. These sources are reliable because Overall this article is clear and easy to understand. The paragraphs are lengthy and easy to read. And the flow of the article is clear to follow. Also, the subheadings created for each paragraph give readers a brief overview of what will be discussed. There is a balance of different factors that played an important role in slavery and the editor does a good job at covering a lot of information.
