Wikipedia Peer Review - Linda Fay Williams
 * Is everything in the article relevant to the article topic? Is there anything that distracted you?
 * Belk, Adolphus - Everything is very relevant to the importance of the work of black political scientists.
 * Brown, Ruth Nicole - Not directly related to Linda Fay Williams, instead is about Dianne M. Pinderhughes who was William’s roommate in graduate school as well as the president of the ASPA. Has information that could be helpful to the topic.
 * Collier-Thomas, Bettye - The information in the article is relevant to the article topic. The article provides great context about the Civil Rights Movement and the Black Power Movement. Chapter 16 is written by Linda Fay Williams.
 * Editors. 2006 - Very relevant to the details about William’s life, childhood, and accomplishments as a political scientist.
 * Frasure, Lorrie Ann - Williams is one of the authors on this piece. The article discusses the different levels of treatment in political participation depending on race, ethnicity, and gender.
 * Gaines, Alayna A - This is an interview between Williams and Gaines which highlights William’s thoughts and opinions on current political issues at the time.
 * Gomes, Ralph C - No link, couldn’t find article.
 * Wallace, Sherri L - Relevant to the article topic. Focuses on the contributions of political findings and research of those within the black community. This includes Williams.


 * Is the article neutral? Are there any claims, or frames, that appear heavily biased toward a particular position?
 * Belk, Adolphus - The article is written in a neutral tone
 * Brown, Ruth Nicole - There is no bias, just emphasis on Dianne’s findings and dedication to her work.
 * Collier-Thomas, Bettye - The article is not entirely neutral but rather opinionated in certain areas. This sometimes appeared in the sections about feminism but all claims were supported.
 * Editors. 2006 - Written in a neutral tone.
 * Frasure, Lorrie Ann - written in a neutral tone.
 * Gaines, Alayna A - It is a transcribed interview which is of course going to be opinionated.
 * Gomes, Ralph C - No link, couldn’t find article.
 * Wallace, Sherri L - The article is neutral and informative.


 * Are there viewpoints that are overrepresented, or underrepresented?
 * Editors. 2006 - I'd like to know more about some of the research she has worked on or what areas of study she focused on.
 * Gomes, Ralph C - No link, couldn’t find article.
 * Check the citations. Do the links work? Does the source support the claims in the article?

NOTE: Almost all of the sources have an extra period at the end of them which makes the links inaccessible. Remove that final period and you are good to go


 * The Belk, Adolphus article is not accessible to those who do not have an account.
 * The Brown, Ruth Nicole citation is great! It is easily accessible.
 * For the Collier-Thomas, Bettye article, is the source accessible for those who do not have a paid account with JSTOR?
 * The Editors. 2006 link works but is there a different link to this article that is in the DOI? The proquest link is not accessible to those without an account.
 * The Frasure, Lorrie Ann link works, but is there a different link in the DOI that you can use? JSTOR is not accessible to everyone.
 * The Gaines, Alayna A link works but the link is through proquest which is not available to everyone. Is there a link you can use in the DOI?
 * The Gomes, Ralph C citation is missing a link at the end.
 * I don’t believe that the  Wallace, Sherri L source is accessible to everyone
 * Is each fact supported by an appropriate, reliable reference? Where does the information come from? Are these neutral sources? If biased, is that bias noted?
 * Belk, Adolphus - Uses reliable sources. This paper uses historical primary sources such as speeches, interviews, and more which highlight the importance of the work done by black political scientists.
 * Brown, Ruth Nicole - All sources seem to be reliable. The references page mainly consists of University Press and other scholarly journals.
 * Collier-Thomas, Bettye - Reliable sources. Used quotes and evidence from University presses and scholarly journals.
 * Editors. 2006  - Reliable information but it’s difficult to find the sources that the Journal used to write this article.
 * Frasure, Lorrie Ann - This article properly cites and uses reliable sources.
 * Gaines, Alayna A - References were not used as this was an interview between Williams and Gaines.
 * Gomes, Ralph C - No link, couldn’t find article.
 * Wallace, Sherri L - Uses reliable references


 * Is any information out of date? Is anything missing that should be added?
 * Belk, Adolphus - published in 2020 and everything seems to be up to date
 * Brown, Ruth Nicole - There could be out of date information. The article was written in 2008 and a majority of the references are from pre 1990.
 * Collier-Thomas, Bettye - Seems to be up to date in most/all areas.
 * Editors. 2006 - Information accurately reports on Linda’s life and accomplishments.
 * Frasure, Lorrie Ann - For example, there are statistics on voter registration and turnout which are outdated. The article was written in 2009 so this is to be expected.
 * Gaines, Alayna A - I suppose the information is not out of date but rather less relevant to the time being. The article was written in 1994 and discusses supreme court decisions at the time.
 * Gomes, Ralph C - No link, couldn’t find article.
 * Wallace, Sherri L - Information is up to date. This article was released in 2020.
