Article Evaluation:
1. Is everything in the article relevant to the article topic? Is there anything that distracted you?

The article itself is fairly short and very straight to the point. There is nothing in the article that does not pertain to the direct information and it is very clear what the article wants to inform readers about. It is about a medical newspaper in London and it only gives facts about the newspaper such as the creator, the schools it includes, and its history.

2. Is any information out of date?

The references used for this article have dates ranging from 2004 to 2011. This could be considered relatively out of date considering there has not been any new reference sources in 7 years, but the last time it was edited/updated was on September 5, 2018, which is quite recent.

3. What else could be improved?

The article does not yet have a rating on its quality or importance, which could mean that the article is not completely and fully factual. It also does not have very much information, and if there is more relevant information that could be included it should be. The image it uses to show the cover of the newspaper is very out of date also (from March 2011 ) and should be updated with the most recent. Other than that, the article is fairly nice and clean.

4. Is the article neutral? Are there any claims that appear heavily biased toward a particular position?

The article is completely neutral and there are no heavily biased claims whatsoever. It is very factual and never gives a writer's/editor's opinion.

5. Are their viewpoints that are overrepresented, or underrepresented?

The article is too short to overrepresent or underrepresent any specific point, and really does not elaborate too much on any specifics at all. Everything is very short and straight forward.

6. Check a few citations. Do the links work? Does the source support the claims in the article?

Some citations do not have links to websites, but the ones that do are correct and lead to the discussed information from the article. There is even a link to the actual online medical newspaper that brings you directly to the updated cover page.

7. 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?

Not every fact is referenced and there are only two encrypted citations within the article in the history section, but both are appropriate and reliable. Both citations are from the actual newspaper itself, which could be considered a direct source. The newspaper could be a biased source in many cases, but the information on its history is most likely unbiased.

8. What kind of conversations, if any, are going on behind the scenes about how to represent this topic?

No conversations are going on behind the scenes about this topic. It seems as though it is not a very popular article.

9. How is the article rated?

The article has no ratings as of today on its quality or importance on Wikipedia.

10. How does the way wikipedia discusses this topic differ from the way we've talked about it in class?

There has not been a discussion on the article in the "Talk" section, so I do not have an answer to that question.
