Wikipedia: Camp David accords evaluation
The article is about the Camp David Accords. These were signed on September 17, 1978 by President Anwar Sadat of Egypt and Prime Minister Menachem Begin of Israel. This includes the most relevant information about this subject.

Something that distracted me was the level of English it is written in. Also, without any prior knowledge it is difficult to understand what you are reading.

What I am missing in the article is that sometimes claims are made without referencing to a source. For example, I quote from the page: "While Begin, who took office in May 1977, officially favored the reconvening of the conference, perhaps even more vocally than Rabin, and even accepted the Palestinian presence,".

In my opinion there are notable equity gaps. I personally had a hard time understanding the article even with some knowledge about the subject.

What can be improved is more referencing with some claims.

The article is neutral. It doesn't say anything about whether the accords were good or bad.

References once again, are sometimes missing. Also some references are not traceable. "Stein 1999, p.7." for example, it is not given from which book/ article/ journal it is. Some other references have this too.

The Talk Page of this article includes comments about things that are confusing or inappropriate.

The thing that is different about this article compared to what is discussed in class that this article dives deep into de subject, which makes sense. However, after reading the page I didn't gain much knowledge because I had a hard time reading it.

Sidenote: At first I thought we had to evaluate a simple Wikipedia page, so I did. I evaluated Ataturks page. And I wanted to note that it is such a big difference. Many simple Wikipedia articles tend to be subjective very quick. Also the lack of references was something that surprised me.
