Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article because it is tied into my research topic for our Proseminar research paper. I found it interesting because I wanted to see what kind of information Wikipedia would have about the topic compared to my own research that I have done on my own.

Overall, I think that the article did a good job summarizing the Northern Ireland conflict. It chronologically explained the events that led up to the violence that erupted in the 1970s and described the policies that were introduced as attempts to make concessions for peace. I disagreed with the statement in the first paragraph that the Northern Ireland conflict ended in 1998. From the research that I have conducted in my Northern Ireland class last semester and my Proseminar research this semester, that is not the case, to many the conflict is still ongoing.
