= Article Evaluation - Civil Rights Act of 1964 =

Evaluating content
Everything in the article is relevant to the article topic and there was not anything that distracted me. I do not think any information is out of date, however, the most recent information is from 2017. Given the Civil Rights Act’s relevancy in 2018 and 2019, I feel that there is information missing about the current debate regarding transgender discrimination and the proposed Equality Act. I think the Women’s Rights and Desegregation subsections could be expanded, as they are only two paragraphs and one paragraph, respectively.

Evaluating tone
The article is neutral and there do not appear to be any claims that are heavily biased toward a particular position. I do not think that there are viewpoints that are overrepresented or underrepresented. Any viewpoints represented in the article are purely historical and factual.

Evaluating sources
The links of the citations I checked all worked, and the sources support the claims in the article. However, there are some links to other Wikipedia pages/subtopics that no longer exist. the facts in this article are referenced with appropriate, reliable references. Information comes from neutral sources such as books, journals, and news articles written by experts in their field, government archives, and law documents.

Checking the talk page
Most of the conversations on the talk page are about modifying external links and correcting any inaccuracies. There is also an ongoing conversation about the accuracy of the opening statement, “The Civil Rights Act of 1964 is a landmark civil rights and U.S. labor law in the United States that outlaws discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin,” as there are several contexts where discrimination is legal. There are also conversations about the neutrality/bias of several statements. The article is rated as B-class, meaning it is mostly complete and does not have major problems, but requires further work to reach "good article" standards. The article is part of WikiProject Human rights, WikiProject United States History, WikiProject Law, WikiProject United States/Government, WikiProject Women's History, and WikiProject Civil Rights Movement. In class, we talked about the current debate regarding the Civil Rights Act of 1964, while Wikipedia discussions seem to be more concerned with citations, word choice, and accuracy of historical facts, such as names, dates, and locations.
