Peer review
This is where you will complete your peer review exercise. Please use the following template to fill out your review.

General info

 * Whose work are you reviewing? Ellsmers
 * Link to draft you're reviewing: Hamilton-Wentworth Catholic District School Board

Lead
Guiding questions:


 * Has the Lead been updated to reflect the new content added by your peer?
 * Does the Lead include an introductory sentence that concisely and clearly describes the article's topic?
 * Does the Lead include a brief description of the article's major sections?
 * Does the Lead include information that is not present in the article?
 * Is the Lead concise or is it overly detailed?

Lead evaluation
The lead of this article is very short and concise, which is a good strong start to the wiki page. It is very formative and applies fact and a concise description of what the article is about. In consideration to if the lead clearly describes to article's topic and has a brief description of the article's major selections, I would say there is information that could be added to the lead. The lead doesn't include what is written in the rest of the article and the description is very short and doesn't really include what the school board actually is and written in the history below the lead is a quick description, but again doesn't necessarily explain everything that I feel could be explained.

Content
Guiding questions:


 * Is the content added relevant to the topic?
 * Is the content added up-to-date?
 * Is there content that is missing or content that does not belong?

Content evaluation
There was some information added, but I noticed it was later removed. The information that was previously added seemed to be quite helpful and I think could be important to know if someone is looking into this school board. The information was on French Immersion schools within the Hamilton-Wentworth Catholic SDB, which again I think is good information to have and I am not sure why it was deleted. I think the content that is missing is maybe some more information of the history and additional information on some of the schools listed.

Tone and Balance
Guiding questions:


 * Is the content added neutral?
 * Are there any claims that appear heavily biased toward a particular position?
 * Are there viewpoints that are overrepresented, or underrepresented?
 * Does the content added attempt to persuade the reader in favor of one position or away from another?

Tone and balance evaluation
The content that was added was neutral and was fact based as it was a list of French schools in the HWRCDSB. For the information that is there, it is quite neutral as, again, it is mainly all fact based and the history of the school board. Hopefully some more neutral information will be added soon!

Sources and References
Guiding questions:


 * Is all new content backed up by a reliable secondary source of information?
 * Are the sources thorough - i.e. Do they reflect the available literature on the topic?
 * Are the sources current?
 * Check a few links. Do they work?

Sources and references evaluation
The information that was previously added was backed up by reliable sources as they all had links attached to them which directed me straight to the school websites. The information that is there is citied correctly and thoroughly for the most part, with a few sentences that aren't referenced. From the links that I clicked on, the information seems reliable and up to date.

Organization
Guiding questions:


 * Is the content added well-written - i.e. Is it concise, clear, and easy to read?
 * Does the content added have any grammatical or spelling errors?
 * Is the content added well-organized - i.e. broken down into sections that reflect the major points of the topic?

Organization evaluation
The information that was previously added was well-written and well-organized. The information that is currently on the page is well-written and very factual, as a wikipedia page should be. One grammatical error that I saw in the article is that it changes between writing a number out versus just putting the number itself. For example, in the history it states that "was established in 1855 and the seven other boards were formed for the next 114 years", so maybe something to think about is consistency with either spelling out the numbers, or just putting the number. The sections are organized well, but I think more information could be added to the history as well as the "schools" section, as they are very brief and the "schools" section doesn't have any description, just lists of schools.

Images and Media
Guiding questions: If your peer added images or media


 * Does the article include images that enhance understanding of the topic?
 * Are images well-captioned?
 * Do all images adhere to Wikipedia's copyright regulations?
 * Are the images laid out in a visually appealing way?

Images and media evaluation
There are only two images that are included in this article, neither of which were added by Stephen. Both images are well-captioned, but the first image of the school board logo is linked to a wikipedia image page, and the link that is attached to that says "no page found" when clicked on. Hopefully this is something that can have a usable link attached to it, so it can be properly cited.

For New Articles Only
If the draft you're reviewing is a new article, consider the following in addition to the above.


 * Does the article meet Wikipedia's Notability requirements - i.e. Is the article supported by 2-3 reliable secondary sources independent of the subject?
 * How exhaustive is the list of sources? Does it accurately represent all available literature on the subject?
 * Does the article follow the patterns of other similar articles - i.e. contain any necessary infoboxes, section headings, and any other features contained within similar articles?
 * Does the article link to other articles so it is more discoverable?

New Article Evaluation
This is not a new article.

Overall impressions
Guiding questions:


 * Has the content added improved the overall quality of the article - i.e. Is the article more complete?
 * What are the strengths of the content added?
 * How can the content added be improved?

Overall evaluation
Overall, the information that is included in this wiki page is well-written and very factual, but I feel that a lot of information can be added. There was information that was added by Stephen, that was later removed. I felt this information could've been very useful for this page and am unsure why it was deleted. I think this page has a lot of potential and by adding some more information to the history and school sections, as that will be a great contribution to this wiki page. I'm looking forward to seeing what is added to this page!

My apologies, I was looking on the actual wiki page and didn't check Stephen's sandbox- my mistake! The information that is in your sandbox is great information. I think by adding the list of French Immersion schools is a really helpful touch and great information to add. The links that are provided are reliable and link straight to the school websites. The list of elementary schools is also great information, but maybe as some continuing edits more information and explanations can be added instead of just lists of schools. For example, maybe add some facts about the French immersion schools such as, when did they open/what was the first French immersion Catholic school in this district, what is their program set up at the school, etc. Great information, but I feel it could be a little stronger if there was more history or explanation with the lists of schools.
