Article Evaluation - Oregon State University
Relevance: Most of the information seemed relevant but there were times it seemed to dive down a worm hole on certain categories and completely skip out on others

Recency: Looked up to date, most things were from 2016/17 which is a little old but for many of them such as student numbers they come out a year later so more updated numbers may still not be available yet through proper sources

Improvement: There could be more subsections and less detail on certain sections

Neutrality: Appeared neutral without any major bias. When talking about ranking's was the only part that may have had some opinions

Citations: Lots of citations and links to other articles. Proper sourcing from what I could tell

Talk Page: It is a part of several wikiprojects including wikiproject Oregon, wikiproject Universities and National register of historic places

Rated B class. Biggest conversation is about whether it is a flagship university or not as well as some additional notes about athletics and over emphasizing the people section.
