Evaluate the drafted changes
Lead

·        There is no lead – it appears this is intended to be part of a larger article.

Content

·        All content is relevant to the topic.

·        All content is up to date – very important with this topic as it covers legislation from the past few years and a court case from this year.

·        Unfortunately, I don’t think addicts count as an underrepresented group to help fill Wiki’s equity gaps – but I applaud the author for addressing such an important social issue.

·

Tone and Balance

·        The content appears neutral. It describes legislative processes without any obvious bias or support given to any side. It doesn’t present a number of viewpoints, but that is not what this brief section is trying to accomplish.

·        No claims appear heavily biased.

·        No single viewpoint is overrepresented nor underrepresented.

·        There is no intent to persuade readers of any particular viewpoint.

Sources and References

·        This article cites to a US statute, an executive order, two government websites, a law review article about a statute, and a recent Third Circuit decision.

·        All of the references accurately pull information and do not distort any statements.

·        They all appear thorough and current. The author made great use of freely available legal primary source material. Secondary sources are all well-vetted.

·        I don’t see any reliability issues with these sources.

Organization

·        The organization seems logical – this is a brief addition to larger article and it all makes sense.

·        There are no grammatical or spelling errors.

Images and Media

·        There are no images nor media.

For New Articles

·        N/a.

Overall Impressions

·        Overall, this is a great addition to an article. It introduces the reader to the topic and utilizes the 6 sources needed for this assignment.

·        There is a slight gap in content between Title II of the Comprehensive Drug Abuse Prevention and Control Act of 1970, and the recent 2017-present developments. I don’t know the topic so perhaps there are no noteworthy contributions, but there is nothing inaccurate about what is described. They could perhaps be split up and expanded into different sections as part of a larger history.

·        The sources are great – research is well done.

·        The biggest highlight is that it addresses recent developments in a very thorough way, citing to different reliable primary sources.

·        Excellent job!
