I am evaluating the article, Melungeon.

I chose to evaluate the article on Melungeons, because Appalachia is not typically recognized for having tri-racial ethnic groups.

Evaluate the article
The lead article provided an efficient introductory sentence, description of what will be in the article, key definitions, and it was written in a concise manner. The article's content is accurate, up-to-date, and relevant to the topic. Melungeons would be considered an equity gap, because the tri-racial ethnic group is underrepresented. The article was written in a neutral, informative tone. Any forms of bias or persuasion were absent. The viewpoints presented in the article are underrepresented, as not many readers are familiar with the topic. The sources used are reliable and active. There is a broad variety of references and they range in dates published. The sources used are the best, informational articles found on the topic. The article is well-written, little-to-no grammatical issues, and very organized. All images used are included in correspondence to the information of the article and they are correctly labeled and cited. They are all appealing, as well. However, having more images would be ideal. There was not a lot of 'talk' going on behind the scenes. This article was nominated for a featured article by Wikipedia, which would have gone unnoticed, otherwise. Looking at the discussion, I found more information about the author and his credibility. The article's overall status is outstanding. It was easy to read, informative, and enjoyable. The author displayed all of the information needed, easily. It was very well-developed. However, I would like to see more pictures within the article.
