Article Evaluation
Wikipedia article: Border
 * Everything in the article is relevant to the topic
 * The article is generally neutral, although there is the mention of one quote in reference to the US-Mexico border that describes it as "the world's longest boundary between a First World and Third World country", which implies a morally negative connotation.
 * The article addresses border politics and economics, but not any social or cultural impact. Under 'Border Studies', the article does not mention the book we discussed in class, which suggests that there may be more that can be added to that section of the article.
 * Some of the links in the references lead to pages that say 'Page not found', while others do lead to the sources they're supposed to. Some of the links also lead to main pages rather than specific articles.
 * Some of the sources are reliable, such as the US Department of States. However, others such as the New York Times are questionable as they may present certain perspectives as opposed to facts. This biased is not noted in the article.
 * In the Talk section, one big issue is on the merging of Maritime Borders with this article, where different Wikipedians are either supporting or opposing. Another has issue with the usage of 'Geometric Borders' by claiming that it is used impressionably rather than technically. The article is of interest to several WikiProjects, including WikiProject Geography, WikiProject International Relations, WikiProject Law, WikiProject Maps, WikiProject Politics and WikiProject Trade.
 * Compared to class, the article goes a lot more in depth about borders and talks about quite a few different ones. It also discusses several different aspects of it which we didn't in class, such as the types of physical borders that exist, border economics, and cross-border regions.
