Article Evaluation
Article: C-class Korea article

Content:


 * Everything in the article was relevant to topic of Korea, but there were also issues regarding how some sections generalized things
 * Most of the information seems up-to-date and the talk section has been mostly active

Tone:


 * Tone appears to be neutral however there are generalizations made in the Culture section about Koreans which I find to be questionable?
 * The information on the article seem up to date, however improvements could be made for how certain parts of articles seem to lack citations (particularly in the etymology section)
 * Western viewpoints seem to be a point of reference in the History and Etymology sections when referencing time periods/eras.
 * Example: "...which ruled most of the Korean peninsula during Marco Polo's time"

Sources


 * Not all citations/links work and are still relevant
 * ex: source 145
 * some come from biased sources-- such as news articles, bias is not noted in the article

Talk page


 * There appears to be frequent watchers for the page and the talk page seems relatively active (but last edit was in 2018 ont he talk page)
 * The talk page also talks about grammar and context of the article -- There are also debates on how things should be phrased on the page
 * The article is listed as a level 4 vital article and was nominated for Geography and places good article in 2006, but didn't meet criteria for the title then.
 * Wikipedia discusses the topic on a more generalized lens, providing more information on the historical background of Korea with little to not mention of social movements and protest.

Article Selection

 * (referring to previous article in exercise) The article's content is related to the topic being covered in class

 * Most claims have a citation - but not all. (Generalizations are evident)
 * Most citations seem reliable and are from academic, peer reviewed sources. However, there are also potential sources that may be questionable such as a news outlets.
