Article Evaluation:
I have just peer-reviewed and evaluated a Wikipedia article using skillsets learned at university about the importance of citation, unbiased descriptions, and the nature of scholarship as a conversation on a given subject matter.

This article is unbiased based on its usage of neutral terms. For example, ...

The citations provided for this article are wholly inadequate. Most of them are from non-scholarly sources or provide broken links. Some citations provided link to dubious websites.

Article Selection (e.g. choose a topic):
Option #1

I would like to edit and contribute to the article about Afro-Palestinians. Unfortunately, so far, I have not found many scholarly references on the subject. Perhaps, it demonstrates a lack of interest in the subject among scholars. Or, the wording "Afro-Palestinians" is not used within scholarship.

Option #2

We learned in class about the distinction between the Grana and Touansa/Twansa Jewish communities in Tunis. I noticed an article about the Souk El Grana briefly mentions this.

I would like to either edit the article Souk El Grana or create a wikipedia entry on the Grana Jewish community of Tunisia.
