Article Evaluation
Ageing Article:

Is everything in the article relevant to the article topic? Is there anything that distracted you? Everything seems to stay on topic in this article and is relevant to their purpose. I got a little distracted in the medical intervention subject because of technical terms and sentences that might not be common knowledge.

Is the article neutral? Are there any claims, or frames, that appear heavily biased toward a particular position? The article seemed to be based off of a neutral ground, however, in some specific subject their was a more biased and downer point of view. Yu can tell thy may feel strongly about something and wants their readers to know it.

Check a few citations (hint: focus on the section about Sociology). Do the links work? Does the source support the claims in the article? Where do the citations come from? Most sources were seem to working, however there were a few duds: in the sociology section the Maturity link has good points but a lot of it seems to be bias and opinion, even though they have adequate sources.

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? I found that some of the economic sources were not reliable. In the Biological Basis and Economics sections i noticed there were a few wonky sources.

Is any information out of date? Is anything missing that could be added? Some of the Economics and Medical Interventions facts and sources were from early 2000s or before, making them not as relevant and up-to-date with what is going on in 2018.

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? The talking page brought about only a few comments. Some concerns were of the spelling, other factors and the link. Most were modified and fixed but others are still pending.

How is the article rated? Is it a part of any WikiProjects? This article is B-Class, it is ok for wiki but not the highest information you could get. Several people on the Talk Page were showing interest in this matter and further wanted it.

Article Proposal
1. Fear of Children: I think i could help edit the "Causes" and "Popular Perception" sections. They are good but need a little more data. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fear_of_children

2. Grey Divorce: I found this topic to be incredibly interesting, I believe it could use more information for all of the world and more causes. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grey_divorce

Fear of Children
I think I can help this article in many ways. I can help to add more topics, information and with grammar. I noticed a few spelling and grammar errors to make this subject a little more professional. This topic is not as well known and so maybe if it has more information and looks more professional people will be interested in learning about it.

Final Draft (Fear of Children Article)
Here is what I added to my article and sources:

Voluntary Childless Parents
The Bureau of the Census conducted a study in 1971 and say the data still seems to be the same today concerning birth rates and parent-to-child ratios. They believe it is too early to say that (increased rates of childless families) foretell a future increase of childless homes in general or just later birth. The number of married couples voluntarily choosing to be childless are only increasing. Social trends, unfortunately, are hard to predict and therefore fertility expectations, attitudes, behaviors and such are uneasy to consistently gather data for, leaving voluntarily childlessness hard to track.

Peer Review
- The wording of the first sentence is a little awkward. It would be more clear if rephrased. Other than that, spelling and grammar were great!

- What did the data in the 1971 study show?

- What sort of factors play a role in a couple's decision to remain childless?

- This is a super interesting and unique topic, and it's obviously a super important factor in the world's demography! Good job.

More Additions to Wikipedia Page
==== Why no children? ==== The amount of women choosing to remain child-less is increasing for many reasons. This choice to remain childless is due to different and emerging socio-cultural factors including: a different outlook on a professional career and life, shifting focus to self-fulfillment and individualism, and changing patterns of "norms" of family types. In more recent years, society has become more open-minded and accepting to the choosing to not have children. Not only is society accepting this idea and choice more, the choice of being childless to some degree is even becoming desired.
