Is everything in the article relevant to the article topic? Is there anything that distracted you?
Everything is relevant and nothing is really distracting.

Is any information out of date? Is anything missing that could be added?
The article is very brief and contains mostly information about how the study of American Literature began. They could add more information on current American Literature study programs.

What else could be improved?
More recent information in general.

Is the article neutral? Are there any claims that appear heavily biased toward a particular position?
The article is neutral and there is no bias towards anything.

Are there viewpoints that are overrepresented, or underrepresented?
No.

Check a few citations. Do the links work? Does the source support the claims in the article?
The links do work and they link to books which I have not read so I don't know if they support the claims.

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?
As far as I can tell all of the references are appropriate and reliable, but again I have not read any of the books.

What kinds of conversations, if any, are going on behind the scenes about how to represent this topic?
There really are no conversations going on. There was one question about what all is considered American Literature" and the response linked to another article with more information.

How is the article rated? Is it a part of any WikiProjects?
It is a C-Class, mid-importance article in the Education WikiProject.

How does the way Wikipedia discusses this topic differ from the way we've talked about it in class?
American Literature isn't something we've really gone over in detail.
