The first article was given and I chose the second because I'm not a fan of Facebook.

Evaluate the article

 * Both articles are really concise in how they describe the content beneath them. They do not go into much depth, but serve as a quick and readable gateway for the information below. Actually, the Facebook article's lead section may even be a bit too short.
 * It appears to me both articles are up-to-date with their information, and no subsection seems to veer to far off from the original content idea. For the most part, it seems that every section is relatively balanced, with a bit more weight to the topics that have more information to give. The given article doesn't quite emphasize inequity, but the article on Facebook definitely does.
 * The first article has no point to prove besides disseminating information, while the Facebook article, in similar fashion, details dates of when certain infringements of privacy occurred. The tone for both is rather neutral and informative, with as far as I could find, no claims to be made. Since there are no viewpoints being made since these are more listings of information, the information appears to be presented without ulterior motive.
 * After checking a few sources in each article (not all) it seems apparent that the sources shown are reliable and helpful as they come from a multitude of places. I can't speak to marginalized representation, but it is definitely apparent each article reached quite far in terms of sources. As far as I can tell, many links work.
 * The articles are both well written, organized in a meaningful way, and on a quick glance do not have spelling errors. Neither article includes images.
 * For the Privacy article, the talk page is really intent on making sure the article stays unbiased and include as many perspectives as possible. On the other side, the Facebook article seems to be lacking in terms of conversation besides adding a bit more to the work at hand. In terms of our class, the talk page does reference the material, but really emphasizes more of the semantics and grammar that make a Wikipedia article an article rather than what necessarily makes a privacy article an article on privacy. Of course, material is still handled well, but the page is focused on following Wikipedia guidelines first.
 * I feel both articles are relatively strong, as they capture numerous aspects of each topic and do their best to explain, not argue, why every aspect is included. For the Facebook article, I feel the discussion over it is a bit lacking, and may need to be peer-reviewed a bit more, but overall both articles tend to encompass their topics quite well. The privacy article is definitely well-developed, while the Facebook article I chose was a bit lacking on development.
