Which article are you evaluating?
Micro Bit

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article because I am using this device in my research lab to teach CS/Computer Engineering skills to indigenous Hawaiian elementary and middle schoolers. I believe it is a valuable technology to make the field of computer engineering more accessible to younger students. I think this Wikipedia page is important because it introduces people to the technology and its value, and may encourage parents/teachers to purchase these devices for their students.

Evaluate the article
I felt like this was a good article overall, and it gave a clear overview of the Micro Bit’s hardware design and software. I have a few comments/suggestions to improve the content of this page:


 * The history section should also include a subsection section on the micro:bit 1.5, which was a revised version featuring a motion sensor.
 * Consider adding a section on the Reception and Use of Micro Bit. There are many articles released on the commercial reception to the device, as well as scientific articles on students’ experiences with Micro Bit.
 * I think the micro:bit v2 section can be placed as a subsection of development in History, rather than having its own section.
 * Consider putting History first before Hardware and Software, as a reader that is not familiar with Micro Bit may want an introduction to its development and partners before its specs.
 * In the Software section, the link to Microsoft MakeCode and Scratch redirects to the website while MicroPython redirects to another Wikipedia page. I would suggest having all 3 of the hyperlinks redirect to their respective Wikipedia pages instead.

Overall I believe this is a strong article, with well-cited references and a neutral point of view. My main suggestions revolve around adding more recent information and possibly restructuring parts of the article.
