Which article are you evaluating?
(Sophia Chang - Wikipedia)

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article because I am familiar with many of the musicians that Sophia Chang has worked with, but I was never informed about the importance of the behind-the-scenes people like Chang. This matters because these mainstream musicians have loads of success, but without the important people like Chang none of it would be possible. It is important to recognize these people, just as it is important to recognize the main players. My first expression of the article that there is a decent amount of information relating to her music career, but there is a lot of information outside of that field that is missing.

Evaluate the article
Everything that is in the article is relevant to Sophia Chang and her life. What is on the page now is important, knowledgeable, and backed by reliable sources. Everything that is on the page now has a place to stay on the page. There is not much information that I found that seemed to be out of date, but there seemed to be loads of information that was missing from the article. In recent years Chang has opened the door to new adventures. Some of which include book writing, memoirs, and mentoring women of color who want to get into the entertainment industry. Among many more things, these are some of the information that is missing from Chang's article. There is not a point in this article where there are notable equity gaps, or parts where marginalized populations are misrepresented. This article does quite the opposite. Sophia Chang is recognized as one of the first Asian women in hip hop. This article recognizes this, and elaborated on the influence she has had on the diversity and representation in the industry. From the content that is already in the article I don't think that there is much that I would change. It seems to me like the information is cited, correct, grammatically correct, and has a nice flow. The only was I believe that this article could be improved is by adding more information about Chang's life. The information in the article is mostly about the life of Chang and doesn't seem to have any bias towards a particular position. There are no viewpoints that are overrepresented or underrepresented in the article. The links in the article work. The claims in the article are backed by sources that agree with the claim. Each fact in the article is referenced with a source. There are some sources that people may claim to be unreliable. There are a lot of news articles that are the sources of information and many of these are usually biased sources, but they may still be seen as reliable. It is not noted in the article that the information has come from a biased source. That being said even though that these are biased sources, it is not evident that there is apparent bias in the article. Yes, there are many sources written by various authors that the information is coming from. There is not many conversations going on behind the scenes. One person wrote that they propose making several edits in April, but someone is yet to comment on that. The response was very detailed, and I believe that they should make the edits they were considering if they haven't already. The article is rated a start class article. This means that the article is developing but still quite incomplete. This article is a part of quite a few wiki projects. These include:

I don't think that the way that Wikipedia discusses this article is too different than the ways we've talked about it. The information is solid, but the article just seems to be underrepresented.
