The Red River Rebellion
The Red River Rebellion or better known as the Red River Resistance now took place in Manitoba.

1.) Is everything in the article relevant to the article topic? Is there anything that distracted you?

Everything in the article appears to be relevant to the topic of the Red River Rebellion. Nothing appeared to be distracting or irrelevant the articles topic.

2.) Is the article neutral? Are there any claims, or frames, that appear heavily biased toward a particular position?

The article is heavily neutral. However within certain sections of the article you can see either a bias towards the Métis population or towards the Canadian government.

3.) Are there viewpoints that are overrepresented, or underrepresented?

No view points are underrepresented. However, Canada's goal of colonizing the West and Westward expansion is overrepresented but in contrast that is what sparked the resistance in the first place so without westward expansion and the sales of Rupert's Land from the Hudson's Bay Company to The Canadian Government.

4.) Do the links work? Does the source support the claims in the article?

I checked three or four links from the article they lead all successfully lead to the sources that all related to the article. From legislature, to encyclopedia's of different topics that are all connected to the arguments made within the article.

5.) Is each fact referenced with an appropriate, reliable reference? Where does the information come from? Are these neutral sources? If biased, is that bias noted?

Each fact is referenced appropriately with a citation connected to the information presented. The information comes from a sources such as Encyclopedia's, Dictionaries, Scholarly articles and Legislature. Not all sources were neutral, scholarly articles always have a bias to them from one side because it is difficult to not present a bias. The bias however is not noted in the article.

6.) Is any information out of date? Is anything missing that could be added?

No information seems to be out of date however information is lacking in some parts, there are some parts that have some discrepancies from other information that I have read of regarding the Resistance.

7.) 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 seems to be a lot of conflict on the talk pages regarding the RRR (Red River Resistance). There is a lack of information about when Manitoba actually joined Confederation, there also has been information that has been plagiarized almost right from the Dictionary of Canadian Biography.

8.) How is the article rated? Is it a part of any WikiProjects?

WikiProject Canada / Manitoba / History Rated a B class of High Importance. WikiProject Indigenous peoples of North America C class                          WikiProject Military history C Class

9.) How does the way Wikipedia discusses this topic differ from the way we've talked about it in class?

We have yet to really discuss this topic in class thus far however I imagine that we are going to go far more in depth and have many more conversations about the RRR once it is discussed.
