Dance marathon

Content


 * The contents in the article is all relevant to the article topic. It explains the root of the history of Dance Marathon, and its effect on the community.
 * The information on the article is not out of date.
 * The article does not explain who can participate in the dance marathon. Who were the participants? Was this really for every Americans?
 * The wikipedia article was revised continuously since 2005. However, I believe that the section on the Great Depression era can be expanded more. The nuance of the text doesn't show how brutal and abusive the marathon was enough.

Tone


 * The tone of the article is neutral. The section, "Dance marathons for charity", is unnecessarily long that slightly ruins the main idea of the article. That section of the article shows how dance marathon is beneficial today, which is very different from how it was during the depression era. I think it would be better if the wiki page focuses on the 20s and 30s, and have a separate article that talk about dance marathon charity today.

Sources


 * Most of the links from the citation works but some does not. Some of the claims were copied word-to-word from its cited sources.
 * Is each fact referenced with an appropriate, reliable reference? Where does the information come from? Are these neutral sources? If biased, is that bias noted?
 * Do the sources come from a diverse array of authors and publications?
 * Do the sources come from a diverse array of authors and publications?
