Instructions
[edit]In this assignment, you'll do a preliminary evaluation of the article you have selected for your semester-long Wikipedia project. You'll also practice some of the Wikipedia editing tools, so follow the instructions below with care!
To edit this page, click "edit" in the upper right. Make sure you're in Visual Editor by clicking on the pencil in the upper right (Source Editor will look like you're editing code and that's more difficult than necessary).
Use the style menu above to write your name using the "Heading" style. Then put a link to your article (using the button with a chain link icon). Finally, put the answers to the questions in a bulleted list.

Evaluation Assignment Questions
[edit]As you read through the article in its current state, take notes on the following questions:
- Is everything in the article relevant to the article topic? Is there anything that distracted you?
- Is any information out of date?
- Is anything missing that could be added? Think about what we learned about in class about these two works of art.
- What else could be improved
- Is the article neutral? Are there any claims that appear heavily biased toward a particular position?
- Are there viewpoints that are overrepresented, or underrepresented?
- Check a few citations. Do the links work? Does the source support the claims in the article?
- 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?
Now look at the talk page for the article:
- What kinds of conversations, if any, are going on behind the scenes about how to represent this topic?
- How is the article rated? Is it a part of any WikiProjects?
