Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article to evaluate because it directly outlines what I will be doing with my own region. I wanted to see how they used their resources and what types of information it provided.

Evaluate the article
Lead Section

In the lead section of the article, it starts off with a short sentence that generally describes the article. I feel like it could have been a bit more descriptive and offered more of what the article addresses, such as education and human rights. Only one part of this article talks about how deafness is a major health problem in Bangladesh. Other than that, the rest of the lead section maintains focus in bringing up the importance of why this topic is important. However, I think it should still briefly cover more of what is talked about throughout the article.

Content

The content of this paper is sufficient in that it summarizes and describes the topics, providing several resources and citations for data and information. However, their could have been more information provided in this article. For example, under Limited Access, the author could have provided more information on the types of surgery that is available in Bangladesh.

Tone and Balance

This article does a poor job with tone and balance. Not only is there very little written for each section, but all of the topics are addressed with equal weight. Also, the article does not provide a neutral viewpoint and has an obvious bias against Oralism. While Oralism is generally viewed as wrong, a large population of the world still believes in this. Therefor, any mention of it should remain neutral. An example of this is when they wrote, "Oralism is also a big issue in Bangladesh, where the oralists who want to integrate Deaf people into hearing society often drown out the opinions of Deaf people who oppose them." This statement obviously opposes Oralism, as well as not providing any background or references to what Oralism is.

Sources and References

This article misses referencing several other articles available in Wikipedia. Some examples of missing links are for Oralism (see Human Rights Issues) and the World Health Organization (see Sound Hearing by 2030).

Organization and Writing Quality

This article seems like it was written quickly, with little care. While it vaguely addresses each point and provides good examples, it lacks in explanations of important topics and also only touches the surface of the things being described. There are also some grammatical errors and spelling mistakes.

Images and Media

There are no images or media within this article.

Talk Page Discussion

There is no conversation in the talk page for this article.

Overall Impression

My overall impression of the article is that it is poorly developed in that it provides surface level information and only addresses each topic briefly. While the article presents information from many different sources, it still lacks in information and a bias is present.
