Which article are you evaluating?
Guangdong

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article "Guangdong" because I grew up in Shenzhen, Guangdong. Compared with other categories, I know more about Guangdong. Guangdong is a province in the south of China. There are two of the most economically powerful cities in mainland China in Guangdong, which is Guangzhou and Shenzhen. Also, Guangdong is closed to Hongkong and Macao.

Evaluate the article
The article has a clear lead section that briefly introduced Guangdong's geographical location, economy, population, economy, and culture. The lead section begins with an introductory sentence and describes concisely basic information about the topic and the major section of the article.

Everything in the article is relevant to the topic and is also up-to-date. However, there is a mistake in the title "Politics." It describes that "Guangdong is governed by a dual-party system like the rest of China," which is totally wrong. Every province in mainland China is governed by a single-Communist-Party nation, the word "dual-party" is not current. Taiwan is the only province that is governed by another party, KMT, in China. As far as Guangdong is concerned, there is only one party that governs. Except for this, I didn't identify any notable equity gaps and I don't think that the article underrepresent or misrepresent historically marginalized populations.

Most of the article is neutral except the "Politics" that I have talked about above. There are no viewpoints that are overrepresented, or underrepresented.

The links are working, and sources support the claims in the article. Each fact is referenced with a reliable reference, except the "Politics." The information on "Politics" comes from another Wikipedia article "Politics of Guangdong" which has an incorrect introductory sentence. Other sources come from a diverse array of authors and publications.

The article is well-written and well-organized. There are no grammatical or spelling errors. The article's images are well-captioned.

The talk page of the article shows conversations that corrected mistakes, questioned contexts, and explained others' questions. This article has been rated as C-Class. It is a part of WikiProject China / Provinces, WikiProject Geography, and WikiProject Politics. The way Wikipedia discusses the topic is not much different from the way we've talked about it in class.

Overall, it is a clear and neutral article that is able to let people know about Guangdong. However, some information about Guangdong in the article is incorrect, such as the title "Politics." Except that, the article is well-developed.
