Evaluating Content
Is everything in the article relevant to the article topic? Is there anything that distracted you? There is a small mention of how anthropological linguistics has been implicated to affect visual perception and bioregional democracy but then there was no other expansion of it. It just seemed a bit random.

Is any information out of date? Is anything missing that could be added? I think some information that could be added would be examples of societies and languages that have been affected by the discovery of anthropological linguistics.

What else could be improved? There are a lot of brief sections that seem random. There are just slight mentions of concepts that very well could be relevant, or irrelevant, but we can't know because it's so brief.

Evaluating Tone
Is the article neutral? Are there any claims that appear heavily biased toward a particular position? The article seems neutral overall.

Are there viewpoints that are overrepresented, or underrepresented? There are a lot of underrepresented phenomenon and contrasting opinions that were mentioned, but the conflict wasn't expanded upon other than a mention.

Evaluating Sources
Check a few citations. Do the links work? Does the source support the claims in the article? The links work. They do support the claims in the article.

Is each fact referenced with an appropriate, reliable reference? Where does the information come from? Are these neutral sources? If biased, is that bias noted? The references are there for each claim and they seem reliable. The information comes from researchers and scholars who study the different phenomena mentioned.
