Article Evaluation

Mostly everything is relevant to the article topic. All of the content is accurate, but there were some minor errors with grammar and spelling. The article is neutral and factual until it gets to the symbolism portion of the page; some of the explanations of the symbols seem like they might be biased. The claim that Chopin made the affair symbolize the confines of marriage was biased, and Wikipedia called the editor out on it. There were a few times when Wikipedia called out the editor, saying "original research?" or "unreliable source?" showing how the editor made some mistakes with the information they gathered. The links do work and support the citations included in the page. The page is accurate and has good content besides the Symbolism section. There is one possible unreliable source, but besides that the sources are mostly neutral. This particular page was last updated today, so the information is up to date. The article is part of the Wikiproject Novels and Women Writers. Wikipedia keeps everything more general and about the story and plot itself, whereas in class we have talked more about the symbolism and emotion tied to the story. There appear to be no inaccuracies in the plot summary, but there are very few quotes from the story. The one quote that is included is integrated correctly, and the structure of the page is easy to read.

Copyedits

-I removed a comma from after "The Story of an Hour" in the first sentence of "The Story of an Hour" page in order to make the sentence sound better. A comma was not necessary in that position.

-I reworded the sentence "The title of the short story refers to the time elapsed between the moments at which the protagonist, Louise Mallard, hears that her husband is dead, and when she discovers that he is alive after all." to "The title of the short story refers to the time elapsed between the moments at which the protagonist, Louise Mallard, hears that her husband is dead, then discovers that he is alive after all." in order to make the sentence flow better.

-I fixed the spelling of the word "realization" (it was previously spelled "realisation").

-I fixed the spelling of the name "Brently" (it was previously spelled "Brentley").
