Article Evaluation: Most of the content in "Gender Pay Gap" article is relevant to the topic. In the "Economic theories" box, it gives information about neoclassical models, after I read the information, it seems unnecessary in the article because it does not give any added information on gender pay gap. The paragraph goes more into discrimination, however, it did not say how it impacted the wage gap. Some of the paragraphs in the article seem to be biased. In the box "Effect of discrimination," it has a claim about women, although it is a claim, it seems very biased. This piece of information leans towards the idea that the gender pay gap is real, which shows that the article is not neutral. The idea of why the gender pay gap is caused is overly presented throughout this article. It focuses on only the how, but it does not show how it effects women. I believe that it should have how much a women makes compared to men in every country. Also, by showing it, it will show the how it will effect women. I clicked on some on the citations to seem if they worked, the ones I did clicked worked. However, I am not sure if the citations are allowed to be in different languages. I found one is Spanish, and multiple citations in languages from Europe. Many of the sources I clicked on, were used correctly, so different phrases or sentences went along with the text represents. In one of the boxes, the sentence matches with the source, but I think that it is a little biased. In the box "Effect of discrimination," the website, Pew Research Center, is not neutral. The tone in the article is very strong in siding with men. However, the quote that was used in the article was very one-sided, which would make sense because it is similar to the article. It seems to have some out of date sources. Like ones in 1989, by Jerry Jacobs and one in 1993 by Barbara Reskin. Those are out-dated because information changes throughout time, and these are one of the oldest sources in the article. I believe sources that are provided should be published less than 20 years ago. Since information evolves throughout time, the notes in the book, article, or journal will not be as accurate compared to the more recent ones. In the talk page of the articles, most of the conversation is about adding or deletion sections. An example in the " Gender Pay Gap" article is removing " Effect of socialization on gender pay gaps," while another conversation was against this post and wanted the section to stay. Also, some of the conversations on the talk page are discussing or commenting on the article. Multiple highly educated people have given their opinion after they have read the content. This article is part of 5 different WikiProjects. All of the projects consist of something with economics, feminism, or genders. However, this article has not been rated in the quality and important scale yet. This article has not been categorized. Wikipedia is different from what I've learned from the gender pay gap by the views that are being used. I've seen articles and journals about two or three ideas. While, reading the article from Wikipedia has more views and evidence to prove it. Before I have seen and thought that the gender pay gap is the result of discrimination against women and what choices they make. After I reviewed the article, I have seen that smaller things take into account too. Also, I've been focused on the United States, while Wikipedia has given facts about the other countries beside the United States.
