[edit]Sources and References
[edit]Guiding questions:
- Is all new content backed up by a reliable secondary source of information?
- The sources appear to be a mix of primary and secondary. Ideally, you could add more secondary sources. However, given the subject matter I feel you likely have utilized as many secondary sources as were available.
- Are the sources thorough - i.e. Do they reflect the available literature on the topic?
- I think they reflect a modest amount of the literature. It is certainly not exhaustive, but given the scale and scope of the article I feel it is sufficient.
- Are the sources current?
- Mixed, some are very current while others are dated. You may want to consider updating the old references if new information is available.
- Are the sources written by a diverse spectrum of authors? Do they include historically marginalized individuals where possible?
- Yes, there are a few repeat authors. However, they are the exception, not the rule in this case. Good work!
- Check a few links. Do they work?
- Yes, the links are working great!

Organization evaluation
[edit]Images and Media
[edit]Guiding questions: If your peer added images or media

- Are images well-captioned?
- Yes!
- Do all images adhere to Wikipedia's copyright regulations?
- Yes - They were provided by one of the primary authors. Cool!

Images and media evaluation
[edit]For New Articles Only
[edit]If the draft you're reviewing is a new article, consider the following in addition to the above.
- Does the article meet Wikipedia's Notability requirements - i.e. Is the article supported by 2-3 reliable secondary sources independent of the subject?
- Yes, there are more than 3 reliable secondary sources.
- How exhaustive is the list of sources? Does it accurately represent all available literature on the subject?
- I would not describe it as exhaustive. Rather, it is a reasonable sampling of the literature available on the subject. Likely, it is close to exhaustive when considering secondary sources alone.
- Does the article follow the patterns of other similar articles - i.e. contain any necessary infoboxes, section headings, and any other features contained within similar articles?
- Yes.
- Does the article link to other articles so it is more discoverable?
- Yes, it does so very well!
New Article Evaluation
[edit]Overall impressions
[edit]Guiding questions:
- Has the content added improved the overall quality of the article - i.e. Is the article more complete?
- Yes, I think it is much improved.
- What are the strengths of the content added?
- They are well laid out and follow a logical format. It convers the vital information well and would give the average reader a reasonable understanding of the subject. It could have more added, but given the constraints associated with a student project I feel t is adequate.
- How can the content added be improved?
- I think the most important thing that could be done to improve the article would be to carefully review the article for any redundant information. Occasionally the article repeats itself unnecessarily. This would help make the article more concise and easy to read.
Overall evaluation
[edit]Overall, I really enjoyed the article and feel you guys did a great job. It can be challenging when several members are writing independent sections to make the article cohesive and enjoyable to read, I think you all succeeded at it! Good work :)
