Article Evaluation on Communication studies

 * Is everything in the article relevant to the article topic? Is there anything that distracted you?
 * This article seems to all be relevant to the overall topic of communications. The beginning breaks down communications into verbal, written, and nonverbal types of communication and this is a good introduction. It explains how political economics uses communication studies and that might be a detail saved for the specific page on political economics, but it isn't distracting.
 * Is any information out of date? Is anything missing that could be added?
 * Does not seem to be out of date.
 * What else could be improved?
 * There is one line that is vague that says there are "other communication science departments elsewhere" in the History section. This is a bit unclear as to what elsewhere means, but it is in the context of explaining why Michigan State having the first department for communication sciences was important.
 * Is the article neutral? Are there any claims that appear heavily biased toward a particular position?
 * It is neutral and presents the topic of communication studies by simply explaining what it is and doesn't take a particular viewpoint.
 * Are there viewpoints that are overrepresented, or underrepresented?
 * Under the "Scope" section it goes into a sub-heading of the scope within the United States. There could be a sub-heading of the scope around the world to perhaps show contrast to this US section.
 * Check a few citations. Do the links work? Does the source support the claims in the article?
 * I checked 3 of the citations. All the links worked and they looked like very reliable sources.
 * 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?
 * The references are reliable and the page links to other pages well.
