Article chosen: New wikipedia articles related to human rights - Social cleansing
 * Is everything in the article relevant to the article topic? Is there anything that distracted you? The contents are fairly relevant, however, some paragraphs are talking about general situation, without mentioning a relation to social cleansing.
 * Is the article neutral? Are there any claims, or frames, that appear heavily biased toward a particular position? The article seems to be neutral because it merely describes facts, even if claims are implied when facts are described.
 * Are there viewpoints that are overrepresented, or underrepresented? The article only talks about Africa and South America. However, it is understandable because those are the regions where social cleansing is most prevalent. Although, further editing is needed to provide enough information on mentioned regions and to cover possible unrepresented examples.
 * Check a few citations. Do the links work? Does the source support the claims in the article? There are many 'citation needed' tags, perhaps because the article is new. Some terms are hyperlinked to other Wikipedia pages.
 * 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? Most references are from academic sources (books) and appropriately referenced.
 * Is any information out of date? Is anything missing that could be added? Two books repeatedly used to explain the case of Columbia were published in 1990s.
 * How is the article rated? Is it a part of any WikiProjects? The article was nominated as a good article and it is of interest to multiple WikiProfects.
 * How does the way Wikipedia discusses this topic differ from the way we've talked about it in class? Not particularly.
