Evaluating Content


 * Is everything in the article relevant to the article topic? Is there anything that distracted you?
 * Is any information out of date? Is anything missing that could be added?
 * Can you identify any notable equity gaps? Does the article underrepresent or misrepresent historically marginalized populations?
 * What else could be improved?

Everything in the article is relevant to the the topic that is being talked about.

Evaluating Tone


 * Is the article neutral? Are there any claims that appear heavily biased toward a particular position?
 * Are there viewpoints that are overrepresented, or underrepresented?

Being the nature of this article, I don't think there is a way for this article to be bias.

Evaluating Sources


 * Check a few citations. Do the links work? Does the source 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?
 * Do the sources come from a diverse array of authors and publications?

''A lot of the links seem to be undeveloped and not up to date. Some of the sources seem to be working fine. However, most of them seem to be from places that are underdeveloped and do not seem like the most reliable.''
