Evaluate the article
(Compose a detailed evaluation of the article here, considering each of the key aspects listed above. Consider the guiding questions, and check out the examples of what a useful Wikipedia article evaluation looks like.)

content: Everything in the article was relevant to the topic. There is a lot of good information explaining redlining and its history, and a good account of legislation attempting to stop the practice. Nothing in the article seemed out of date. The article doesn't misrepresent minority populations, and highlights ways that they have been marginalized historically. Some sections were a little long that weren't vital information (specifically about COVID-19 --> could be more broad towards health impacts).

tone: The tone felt neutral. It presented factual information without adding bias.

sources: For the few sources I checked, the links worked and led to sources that supported the information in the article. There were a few times where I felt like a citation should be added, and there were a few paragraphs with a bunch of citations at the end, so it was unclear where the specific information from each sentence of the paragraph came from. The information did come from a wide variety of sources and publications (news articles, books, academic journals, federal data).

talk: There was not a ton of conversation on the Talk page. It was mostly about phrasing in the opening sentence and paragraph about the definition of redlining. There was one comment about how one section might contain too many bipartisan sources. The article is rated C-class and is a level-5 vital article. It is part of two wikiprojects: Urban studies and planning, and Discrimination.
