Article Evaluation

The Great Recession in the United States

1) Everything seems to be up to date and accurate about this article. I read it and it is relevant to the topic. It explains the housing bubble, how it formed, and other very important events that impacted the United States to reach The Great Recession.

2) The article is very neutral, not biased at all. It is straight to the point and explains the occurrence of the tragedy in the U.S crystal clear.

3) In my honest opinion I think they should of added a bit more towards the mortgage bubble and how it formed and less on the recovery of The Great Recession. It would have been better if in the recovery section was kept a bit more brief.

4) All the hyperlinks are working, when I click on the names of buildings, people, or areas it takes me directly to the wiki page of what that area, person, or building is. The source supports the claim as it goes more in depth to what the article is informing us about.

5) There are over 100 citations, this article was written up very well linking facts to the corresponding citation for further understanding of the material or accreditation to the outsource they received the information from. Some of the information cited was coming from The Seattle Times, Reuters, Money CNN, and other online website sources. These sources are neutral and very accurate as they come from trusted sites like money.cnn.com

6) All the information and data is up to date, I saw several citations from 2017-2018. The average citation came from 2010+ and only a few were from when the even happened what in 2007-2008. Everything was pretty much there, like I stated before maybe a little bit of more info towards the mortgage bubble.

7) It was shocking to me how many people are on the Talk tab speaking upon corrections in the article. This is great since that means more people are trying to add accurate information for others like me to read about. I saw a comment stating that the article did not specify when the recession ended and another comment stating that the date was incorrect, which I did not notice until now. There was not much said in the Talk tab due to the fact that the article was pretty accurate only for some slight minuscule errors.

8) This article is pretty solid and accurate, I did not notice if it was part of any WikiProjects.

9) We have not spoken about this in the class, I chose this topic because I knew it had to relate upon business and ethics within business due to the fact that many mortgage loaners were giving out loans to those who they clearly knew were not financially capable of paying it back. If I had to choose a chapter where this article would best fit, it would be chapter three as it discusses integrity and honesty which was very lacking during those times since as I stated before the mortgage loaners were giving nearly anyone a sub-loan.
