 * Candy Crush Saga
 * Article Evaluation
 * This articles content is relevant to the topic. it discusses what the game entails, how to play, when the game came out, and the creators of the game. The article also talks about how popular the game was when it game out and how people are still playing it today. Since this is a game and some people may like it and others may not, I think that the writer of this article kept it neutral.

I do think that this covered one of wikipedias equity gaps because it is about a game that users played and it is giving information about the subject.
