= Article Evaluation = In the article about Madam C. J. Walker, everything seems to be in order. The picture help give an insight into the time period she was alive without being inserted in awkward locations (such as above the text, in the middle of the text, etc) without being overly distracting. The links seem to work well and lead to the pages which were intended for the meaning of the word. There is however, a link for an article page which does not exist yet under the title for Robert Lee Brokenburr and I just wonder how one would fix this issue if you can not link a key term to an article in wiki?

The article itself sound informative in regards to the live and major events of the of Madam C.J. Walker and the cited links I've checked display similar information in regards to what is presented on the wikipage. As I am still new to wiki, I see that the article is rated -class which probably means there are some mistakes or information which needs to be expanded upon or reduced. After reading the article I noted most of it discusses her travels but doesn't mention enough about the business, social, or activist aspect of the topic. At first glance it seem fine but it isn't. This article is apart of nine different wikiprojects. Half view the article as of mid importance, while others rate it as of low-importance. I just wonder why the artcile is rated c-class, and why it is viewed as being medium to low importance.

Hello Amanda,

I would like to thank you for your commentary on the Korean Art article. I hadn't considered updating or expanding on information for the other sectors of the subject besides what was on the parts of the page near the top (since these did not have external links leading to a separate page), but taking a look into those other subjects that aren't well explained or elaborated (i.e ceramics, comedy, poetry, etc) in Korean history ﻿﻿﻿﻿﻿would help in furthering the validity and richness of the content found in this article. Your notes are taken in high regard.

Reply to Tim Myers:

Thank you for the useful feedback, my evaluation of the article was just a brief over-view of the information obtained from looking over it. As for work on the actual article itself, I will be doing the things you and Amanda suggested which was mainly expanding the contextual richness of the article with facts and evidence. Thank you for your thoughts!

11/3 EDIT (before and after)
Narrative storytelling, either in poetic dramatic song by yangban scholars, or in rough-housing by physical comedians, is generally a male performance. There is as yet virtually no stand-up comedy in Korea because of cultural restrictions on insult-humour, personal comments, and respect for seniors, despite globally successful Korean comic films which depend on comedy of error, and situations with no apparent easy resolution under tight social restraints.

Korean oral history includes narrative myths, legends, folk tales; songs, folksongs, shaman songs and p'ansori; proverbs that expand into short historical tales, riddles, and suspicious words which have their own stories. They have been studied by Cho Dong-Il; Choi In-hak, and Zong In-sop, and published often in editions in English for foreigners, or for primary school teachers.'

Korean oral history includes: narrative myths, legends, folk tales; songs, folksongs, shaman songs and p'ansori; proverbs that expand into short historical tales, riddles, and suspicious words which have their own stories. These stories have a heavy base in Confucian, Buddhist, and Shamanistic idealism that help shape the cultural values in society that they want to pass down to future generations (Song, Sooho. "Narrative structures in Korean folktales: A comparative analysis of Korean and English versions". Topics in Linguistics 18.2: 1-23. https://doi.org/10.1515/topling-2017-0007 Web). They have been studied by Cho Dong-Il; Choi In-hak, and Zong In-sop, and many others who also helped contribute publications often in English editions for foreigners or for primary school teachers.
