Sentence processing: This article is fair. However, it definitely lacks quotation. For example, in the "Ambiguity" subsection, there is only 1 citing at the very beginning of the sentence for a lengthy paragraph. Some other paragraphs like "garden path model" and "late closure" are relatively short and without any citation. "Modular vs. interactive" is a little bit better. Other than that, the article itself is neutral as there is no bias towards a particular position.
Psycholinguistics: Paragraphs lack citation such as "language comprehension", "language production", "neuroimaging". Some of the sections are too short. For example, "language production errors" only has one sentence. I think that biological factors and psychological factors of psycholinguistics are underrepresented. As this page is about psycholinguistics instead of linguistics itself, the page should emphasize more on the relation between psychological mechanisms and linguistics.
Parsing: isn't parsing the term that borrowed from computer processing? (if I remember correctly, I am really not sure). If it does, how should we edit this page? Maybe we could name the page as "parsing (psycholinguistics)"? So the page can be separated from the computer processing part which we do not have the knowledge to write about. Anyway, the current page itself is very broad and general, it's not sticking well to the psycholinguistics field. It mainly focuses on computer programming and does not really talk about parsing in human process. It makes sense as the page is currently rated as "start-class". This might be one of the pages that we could work on and make it better. As we discussed the topic a lot during our meeting.
Prediction in language comprehension: I think we could work on this page as well. There isn't even a rating for this page. Although the paragraphs are not very detail, it has more citations than some other pages (readings for week 2).
Overall, I have a thought that it is necessary to add a decent amount of hyperlinks as psychology has a lot of interdependent topics. And hence, pages could be cleaner and information would not be duplicated.
vision span and the perceptual span.
Mechanisms that involved in language evolution existed long time ago, even further than the split of human beings and chimpanzees. These mechanisms did not evolve because of language, but they were already there and just used by language.
sentence processing is a broad topic. You can talk about ambiguity, eye tracking movement and perceptual span. A lot of subtopics in it.
