Which article are you evaluating?
Wong Chin Foo

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article because it is highly relevant to our course. Wong Chin Foo was a pioneer of the Asian American equal rights movement and the article on his life contains some gaps in his specific works.

Evaluate the article

 * 1) Lead Section: The author does a good job providing a concise but comprehensive overview of what the article will cover: He describes Wong Chin Foo as an activist, writer, and Chinese Immigrant who fought for equal rights in America. This does a good job summarizing his main accomplishments
 * 2) Content: The content is relevant, up to date and covers Wikipedia equity gaps because there is often little information on Asian American history and their struggle for equality.
 * 3) Tone: The tone is balanced, neutral, and unbiased. There are no unsubstantiated claims and the author uses neutral, reputable sources.
 * 4) Sources: All references are reliably backed by reputable articles and cited appropriately. The links work. However, there are a few sources my class covered that could be included, such as his essay "Why am I a Heathen" and an article by Qingsong Zhang titled "The Origins of the Chinese Americanization movement: Wong Chin Foo and the Equal Rights League."
 * 5) The article is well organized and concisely written, providing a good overview of his life and his work. However, it doesn't go into much depth about what his works covered. There are also some minor structural and grammatical errors.
 * 6) Images: There is one highly relevant portrait of Wong Chin Foo, however the article could certainly include more pictures.
 * 7) This article is classified as low-importance and there are no discussions about it. It is part of the China, Journalism, and California Wikiprojects.
 * 8) Overall Impression: This article is slightly different from our class discussions because it focuses more on who Wong Chin Foo was as a person and community member rather than detailing the themes of his literary works. This article's strength include presenting an unbiased, well developed, yet concise overview of his life. However, one way it can be improved is to detail what his literature argued and how this specifically helped Asian Americans in their fight for equal rights. This article is relatively well developed but some areas are very brief, such as the section on his work as an author.
