Za'atar

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article because I love this middle-eastern spice (Za'atar). I think it is delicious and a relevant topic with regard to our class. As it is very prevalent in middle eastern society, I knew it would have copious information for me to practice my evaluation skills.

Evaluate the article
The lead paragraph is concise and relevant to the topic of Za'atar, pinpointing its etymological roots in a neutral tone. It eludes to its use in cuisine as a spice, and its biblical and etymological references, which generally covers the major headings that follow. The topics following the paragraph all seem to be relevant and accurate according to the sourcing, and I am very happy to see that there are multiple neutral statements as to how the spice is used by different middle eastern states, as in reality there can be contention regarding what state birthed the spice. These varied (but neutral) perspectives suggest that the editors/authors of the article stayed within the bounds expected of Wikipedia and remained neutral without a biased point of view.
