Is everything in the article relevant to the topic? The article presented information that related to the topic with no deviation from it. The article covered history, theories, data relating to this topic.

Is there anything that distracted you? The format of some of the articles were formatted in an unusual way. Such as when naming the immigration countries, and countries of origin were formatted differently from top ten migration corridors worldwide. Even though both were a list ranking 1-10.

Is the article neutral? Are there any claims, or frames, that appear biased toward a particular position? I thought it was a little biased when it presented all the theories neutrally until it presented world system theory. In a part of the passage it says how this view of international trade is controversial, without necessarily covering why it was. Towards the end, it also presented other theories without giving any information about them.

Are there viewpoints that are overrepresented, or underrepresented? As mentioned above, it covers 5 theories more extensively than the other models presented below them, which only gives names to them, and doesn't add to how they function as theories related to migration without clicking on their Wikipedia pages.

Check a few citations. Do the links work? The links for the most part work. Leading to The World Bank, National Geographic, and UN, UNHCR sites.

Does the source support the claims in the article? Yes, the data for the most part support the Wikipedia article.

Is each fact referenced with an appropriate, reliable reference? No, they are data from the article that have failed to contain reference to whom the data is by and when the data was collected. They also fail to mention sources for their remittance data.

Where does the information come from? Are these neutral sources? The information varies. As mentioned above the information comes from reliable sources such as The World Bank, National Geographic, UN, UNHCR, as well as journal article such as one from Univertity of Pennsylvania. These sources are credible and present a neutral view of the data.

If biased, is that bias noted? One of the sources used is the film El Inmigrante which although cited as a source, does not have it's own reference that indicates where this information was used. The article does not present any information as biased with that viewpoint presented so.

Is any information out of date? Is anything missing that could be added? Unfortunately, when the article presents information over the top receiving and sending countries it does not specify when did information was accurate. Therefore, the countries could be outdated. This would be helpful information to add to strengthen the credibility of the article.

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? There are section that discuss some subjective wordage, such as best sailors. Three are also mentions with problems about the theory section being fledging, without knowing what migration is.

How is the article rated? It's listed as level 3 vital. Yet it has a C Class rating

Is it a part of any WikiProjects? It is part of the WikiProject Human Genetic History pages, WikiProject History articles, WikiProject Ethnic groups article, WikiProject Economic articles, and WikiProject Human rights articles.

How does the way Wikipedia discusses this topic differ from the way we've talked about it in class? Ours covers extensively more on who migrates. The Wikipedia page heavily lacked the trends in migration across the world. It as well lacked an in depth analysis on each theory of migration. As it covered a broad theory each in one paragraph.

Improving the quality of a Wikipedia article.

What I could add to the article Russians Americans statistics. The page is missing a lot of information regarding to the statistics of Russians who have migrated to the US over time. It's also missing information about the current migration of Russians to the US. The article briefly speaks about the recent trends in highly skilled Russians causing a brain drain and coming to the US. But it misses data on how educated they are. Or the other Russians and how they are migrating to the US.
