Article Evaluation - Jiajing Emperor

 * Is everything in the article relevant to the article topic? Is there anything that distracted you?
 * No, there are places in the text where the is irrelevant information. For example, in the section "Reign as emperor", there is a paragraph that talks about a Mongol invasion but does not mention anything related to the emperor itself. This would be fine if the passage indicated how it specifically related the emperor rather than "Ming government appeased". Things that distracted me include grammar.
 * Is any information out of date? Is anything missing that could be added?
 * I don't think there is any information out of date. Some information that could be added include his views regarding family, since he revered his parents but didn't like his siblings or other relatives.
 * What else could be improved?
 * Grammar and sentence structure could be improved.
 * Is the article neutral? Are there any claims that appear heavily biased toward a particular position?
 * I feel the article is neutral and doesn't have any biased claims. If there is a biased claim, it might be that the emperor was "intelligent" when he managed to control the courts.
 * Are there viewpoints that are over represented, or underrepresented?
 * I feel the emperor's viewpoints on his family were underrepresented, since they barely mention it and was a relatively important point in Jiajing's personality.
 * Check a few citations. Do the links work? Does the source support the claims in the article?
 * The links don't work.
 * 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?
 * No each fact is not referenced appropriately and come from unreliable, and biased sources that are not noted.
 * What kinds of conversations, if any, are going on behind the scenes about how to represent this topic?
 * There have been conversations on the talk page, such as the possible addition of the emperor's genealogy and possible renaming of article.
 * How is the article rated? Is it a part of any WikiProjects?
 * This is a start class rated article on WikiProjects.
 * How does the way Wikipedia discusses this topic differ from the way we've talked about it in class?
 * There is a heavy emphasis on the lineage of the emperor, which we have not really expanded upon in class as we talk mainly about the main ideas of the reading.
