 "Article Evaluation": Royal Proclamation of 1763 

The article Royal Proclamation of 1763 encompasses many, if not all aspects of the written act. The definition, historical background and laws within the Royal Proclamation of 1763 are well defined and include information on all parties involved (French, British, United States and First Nation groups). The article could add more information in regards to the provisions of inherited land in which the British received from the French. The article can also use more information in regards to the Native occupied lands of Western Canada and the effects the Royal Proclamation of 1763 had on them. Everything in the article is relevant to the Royal Proclamation of 1763, however it could provide claims made by First Nation groups about the Royal Proclamation. The article is written without bias and uses multiple historian opinions, viewpoints and direct quotes. The citation of the article seems to be sub-par, as it does not site specific information the author decided to publish. The citations also seem to be written reputable sources, however one cannot simply click on the source and find the article cited. The use of Wampum Borrorw's work is heavily relied on in this article and can be viewed as a weakness. The articles talkpage has a few suggestions and reasoning's for edits, in regards to boundary lines and other possible names for the Royal Proclamation of 1763 as a head title. The article was a featured article and is in multiple WikiProjects. Obviously the article included more information on the United states and official boundary lines of the Royal Proclamation then we would discuss in class. In class we would have gone over the implications the Royal Proclamation of 1763 had on First Nation Groups in Canada, mainly in western Canada.
