History of Chinese Americans

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
(Briefly explain why you chose it, why it matters, and what your preliminary impression of it was.)

I choose this article because I think it is already a fairly detailed article and I thought it was important to make sure it was as accurate as possible because it is important that we have a good history of immigration of different people to the United States. I think on an overview, this article is very detailed and seems to be through.

This article feels detailed and through. I do feel like some more notes can be added to certain sections. For example, I think the Anti-Chinese movement is very short and should be explored more to show how exclusive the United States was when writing and passing laws in relation to Chinese Immigrants. Even though the next section on exclusion is long, I still think the section before it should be longer. I think the lead section feels a little to fast pace. I think it could use a couple more sentences to really make sure it is a good summary of the over-arching narrative of Chinese Immigration. I think the media (pictures, graphs, and maps) are good. More could be added if we wanted but I think right not they feel good. The citations look good in my opinion as does the further reading section but we can always add more to those sections as the article gets edited and changed. I do think the today section should be updated to be as recent as possible. I also think we should write more on the 1980s and 1990s periods of immigration. The talk page does not have much discussion but was is there involves citations and seems important and relevant. The links I looked through in the citations seemed to work and look reliable.
