Article Evaluation

Comfort women: The article has a significant amount of information being sourced from each side of the topic, with the sources being active and viewable (aside from one broken link I encountered). There seems to be a little bias against the Japanese side of the argument in the few sourced materials I checked. The sources I checked were mostly newsletters and journals.

Although each article is sourced properly, the "Controversies" section seems to skew the line of neutrality, as it focuses heavily on a few sources exemplifying the view of Japan's dismissal of the comfort women. This could probably be minimized to a statement that there has been wide dismissal of the experiences of comfort women by Japanese media and politicians, followed by the sources cited to support this claim, then added to the "History of the Issue" portion. However, I'm not sure if this is the correct way to edit a Wiki article...

The Talk page hosts mostly modified external links (indicating broken links), as well as a report that certain details were removed for lack of relevance. The article was nominated but unable to reach the status of "good article." The interested Wikiprojects include: Asia, Korea, Japan, China, Indonesia, Tambayan Philippines, Vietnam, Women, Gender Studies, Women's History, Feminism, Military History, and Organized Crime.

This article differs from our in class discussions as it attempts to remain a set of unbiased facts, where in our class we discussed the implications that this topic has on future relations in Asia.
