Article evaluation
Everything in the article “Robert Gober" is relevant, nevertheless some areas need to be rewritten to improve the readers ability to understand the content. The article appears to have a neutral stand point all throughout. Something that would benefit the article would be to talk more about his art and the purpose behind it. The links in the article work and lead you to the proper source. Some of the references are based off information from other wikipedia article and not from a primary source.The articles information is up to date. One off the conversations had on the talk page was about adding a section about his arts role during AIDS epidemic. The article is a part of two WikiProjects, the wWikiProject of Biography and the WikiProject of Visual Art. Overall in school they don’t go much into depth regarding the AIDs epidemic especially not the art. Eliza97 (talk) 22:29, 24 January 2018 (UTC)

Background information
The Chinese were brought to the U.S. under a contract system to help with the construction of the pacific coast railroad. A treaty negotiated by the Secretary William H. Seward called The Burlingame treaty of 1868 allowed unlimited freedom for the Chinese to immigrate to the United States. The treaty also prohibited the U.S. from meddling into China's internal affairs as well as granted American citizens privilege in China. By 1880 The U.S. modified the treaty to restrict the immigration of Chinese workers with the approval of China. Two years later in 1882 congress passed the Chinese Exclusion Act that required Chinese immigrants residing in the United States to carry identification papers with them at all times. In 1888 the Scott Act was passed and made into law despite the supreme court deeming it a violation of the 1880 treaty. In the years 1900 through 1905 the bubonic plague hit San Francisco's Chinatown which only increased anti-Chinese hostility. Eliza97 (talk) 20:51, 28 February 2018 (UTC)
