Article Evaluation

Evaluate article content by answering the following questions:


 * Is everything in the article relevant to the article topic? Is there anything that distracted you?

Everything in the article is relevant to the article topic, but what distracted me was how hard it was to read. The grammar and wording is bad and makes it somewhat confusing to read.


 * Is any information out of date? Is anything missing that could be added?

I believe most of the information is up to date and accurate, but in some sections there is very little information.


 * What else could be improved?

I believe the writing and grammar as well as some details could be improved.

Evaluate the article's tone by answering the following questions:


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

For the most part the entire article is neutral, but there are a few phrases here and there that seem a little bias, but nothing heavily biased.


 * Are there viewpoints that are overrepresented, or underrepresented?

The viewpoints or sections that are underrepresented in the article are modern stereotypes about all African Americans and male African Americans.

Evaluating the article's sources by answering the following questions:


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

Most of the citations do not work and just send you straight back to the article or say, "File Not Found". Although, there are a couple citation links that do work, but most either don't or aren't even links.


 * 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?

I don't think a lot of these references are truly reliable, some are blogs, opinions and some are just peoples thoughts on movies. There are a few that are slightly more reliable, like BBC.org and published books.

Now take a look at how others are talking about this article on the talk page.

 * What kinds of conversations, if any, are going on behind the scenes about how to represent this topic?

The conversations that are going on are about how the reference links don't work, the intro is too long, and if a certain topic should be included or excluded from the article. As well as nominating the page for deletion (which it was), but ultimately was kept.


 * How is the article rated? Is it a part of any WikiProjects?

The article is rated as start-class, which means it has plenty room for additions and improvements. This article is a part of six WikiProjects:


 * 1) African Diaspora
 * 2) Discrimination
 * 3) Sociology
 * 4) Psychology
 * 5) Ethnic Groups
 * 6) United States
