"article evaluation"

Article: Housewife

Everything in this article was relevant to the topic. The only thing that distracted me was a section called "songs about the housewife's lot". I thought this was unnecessary and it almost made me stop reading the article.

I don't think this article was biased in any way that I noticed. It simply explained the history of housewives and how housewives act in different countries.

When I clicked on the citations at the end of the article, some of them lead me to different websites but others gave me a message that explained the website was no longer available. The websites that worked successfully supported the claims in the article.

Some of the citations don't really make sense. For example it links to a book that is basically propaganda. So I am not really sure how credible that is.

On the talk page of the article, there is some conversation going on, but not since 2003. The talk is mostly people removing things that did not make sense to them or that were inaccurate, leading me to believe that each fact is not linked with a reliable reference.

I do not see any projects that this article is involved in and I don't see if it is rated or not.

This article differs with the way we've talked in class. We have talked about how women are seen as being housekeepers and doing housework while men go to work, which the article explains. But, we have discussed that today most women work full time as well as doing household chores. We also discussed how it is more common for men women to split the household duties.
