Which article are you evaluating?
Stop Asian Hate

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article because I can relate with it because of my identity. I identity as an Asian person and seeing all the discrimination and hate crimes against Asian people is really saddening. My preliminary impression of it is that it is a movement around 2021 that involved a lot of protests and demonstrations to stop hate against Asians and Asian Americans. During this period of COVID-19, people were self-reflecting and processing the hate that racial groups were getting and finally understood that it was not right and we need to stand up for ourselves.

Evaluate the article
Everything in the article pertained to the topic at hand. Information was not out of date, however, I believe more information can be added to enhance the article at hand. The sections of the article go: Summary, Background, Rallies. There is nothing else other than those three sections. I believe other sections can be added such as Methods of Demonstration, Media, etc in order to better exemplify what these people did during the rallies instead of just listing it out as just rallies. There were luckily no equity gaps as each section had a good amount of information that covered its own section, but I believe more information should be present to better enhance the article.

As for its tone, the article is pretty neutral. It doesn't lean toward supporting or not supporting the movement and all points of view are pretty equally represented. Overall, the article does a good job of keeping its tone neutral.

As for the article's sources, the links within the article do work and each source pertains to what is being cited. However, I'm not super sure if the sources they used were super reliable, but then again the event is so recent so these might be the only sources they can use. A lot of the article's sources were from news outlets or other Wikipedia articles and I believe that is not sufficient enough to be considered unbiased. There were little to no use of research articles and papers which makes sense as the event was so recent. But, this may lead to bias as news outlets tend to have a bias in terms of what they want to represent and what they do not. Therefore, I cannot consider this unbiased. The sources do come a diverse array of authors, but all of which are from news outlets or other Wikipedia authors.

When reviewing the talk page, there are a lot of suggestions on how to improve the article and what we should do to better enhance it. A couple of sections in the talk page help to give possible new sections to better improve the current article. Overall, the talk section is trying to better the article and include relevant information that might not have been added when the article was published.
