Article Evaluation
Article: Kruger National Park
 * 1) Is everything in the article relevant to the article topic? Is there anything that distracted you?
 * 2) * In the section on anti-poaching measures, there is a lot of technical information on the equipment being used and the units involved, but not a lot of general overarching information.
 * 3) * The last section on wilderness trails seems either underdeveloped or not needed.
 * 4) Is the article neutral? Are there any claims, or frames, that appear heavily biased toward a particular position?
 * 5) * For the most part the article seems neutral.
 * 6) Are there viewpoints that are overrepresented, or underrepresented?
 * 7) * Since this article is mostly general information, there seems to be an equal amount of information for each topic.
 * 8) Check a few citations. Do the links work? Does the source support the claims in the article?
 * 9) * All the links that I checked were working links and the ones in english seemed to support the article.
 * 10) 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?
 * 11) * Some of the articles aren't in english, but don't seem to be from journal articles or anything of that nature. Since they aren't in english though, I cannot fully say how reliable they are.
 * 12) Is any information out of date? Is anything missing that could be added?
 * 13) * There is almost no mention of apartheid in this article, which would be relevant given the historical timeline of how the park came to be and its location in South Africa.
 * 14) * To me it is lacking some overarching information on poaching in this area. The information in the article now is very specific.
 * 15) * The wildlife trails section seems to be too short and potentially missing information.
 * 16) Check out the Talk page of the article. What kinds of conversations, if any, are going on behind the scenes about how to represent this topic?
 * 17) * There are conversations about the validity of certain claims and people asking if there are sources to support certain claims. There is also a little on apartheid and racism and its place in the article.
 * 18) How is the article rated? Is it a part of any WikiProjects?
 * 19) * It is a part of three WikiProjects - WikiProject Protected Areas, WikiProject South Africa / Protected Areas, and WikiProject Africa / Protected Areas. It is rated Start-class, Mid-importance for all of these.
 * 20) How does the way Wikipedia discusses this topic differ from the way we've talked about it in class?
 * 21) * We have talked about Kruger National Park only in reference to the vulture crisis and poaching. The wikipedia article obviously has more general information on the park and its history, but it also has a more unbiased discussion of poaching.
