"Article Evaluation on USA Freedom Act" The article is very long with excessive detail in some sections. The section on passing the bill was very long and could use some summarizing of the main points. No information is missing, but the important information is hard to find because of the amount of detail in the article that is not all needed. The layout of the article could also be improved to make the article easier to understand. All points are represented in the article although a few sections have much more detail than the others and may need to be reorganized and looked at. Those sections may include, Passage in House of Representatives and Markup in House Judiciary Committee. There were no opinions listed in the article and it all seemed neutral. The citations that I checked worked and supported the material within the article. All the facts seem to have reliable references although there are a few opinion pieces that were opinions, although it was noted that it was an opinion and whose opinion it was. The article is a part of many wiki projects including, mass surveillance, law, human rights, United States/government and espionage. In the talk page, there was talk about the lead section and the tile but those both seemed to be fixed in 2015. There was also some information from 2014 on how to improve the overall article and some links that someone thought might be good to include in the article. Wikipedia talked more in detail about the topic compared to when we went over it in class.

In this article, the main things I plan to contribute to the article is to reorganize the article to comply with the Wikipedia standards and to consolidate some of the information that may have excessive detail provided in it. Some of my focus will be in the section, "Passing the Bill," to try and remove some of the excessive detail.
