Which article are you evaluating?
The article that I am evaluating is the Pacoima Dam link

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I have chosen this article to evaluate because, I am interested in water quality. Also, since I live in California, I decided to evaluate a dam that is in my state. I have also chosen this dam because it is close to my home. I want to see if there was any information that I could gather from reading this article and to see if there is anything wrong with it. Hopefully there isn't anything outdated or unavailable in this article.

Evaluate the article

 * Each part of this article are from either reliable sources, or from other Wikipedia pages.


 * The topics mentioned in this article do relate to the history of the dam, no part of this article is distracting to the point where it deviates from the main point of this article


 * The article is based on a dam. I don't really think it should have a side, so I would say that it is neutral


 * The links in the references tabs are from interesting sites. The first link about continuous GPS monitoring, comes from a website that is classified as unsafe, the third link comes from a personalized website about a person, and the third site is a presentation. If there were better resources, I think they could have used them. I believe that there is a report on when the dam was built and what technology is in the concrete walls of the dam, that were documented by the engineers themselves. As far as being biased, I would assume that it is not biased judging by the theme of the article it is.


 * I don't think that there are viewpoints that are overrepresneted. I do believe that the history of the dam was a bit underrepresented, but dams don't have the biggest of histories, when they are just built, but they do have impacts on the environment and I would like to know what they were when I read these articles.


 * All links seem to be good. Under External links --> LA Department of Public Works --> Pacoima is not linked
 * Most of the information here, would have to be updated due to its contents. Everything is up to date.
