Which article are you evaluating?
Islam and gender segregation

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article because it relates to my course as it is examining gender segregation in the "Middle East". My initial impression of it was that there was information that did not have a reliable source. I also noticed that the lead section was a little short and some of the sections are imbalanced.

Evaluate the article
The content of this Wikipedia article does address a topic that is historically underrepresented but there is an issue with content that is not properly cited which can ruin the credibility of the information provided. A proper evaluation of all the content included and the source could be helpful in eliminating any content that does not belong and resolving the issue of reliable sources. The article seems fairly neutral but there are certain sections that are underdeveloped. For example, certain countries under the “In Islamic countries” such as Iraq and the United States are short in comparison to other countries mentioned in this section. Also the section on Early Islam is lacking and I think there is a lot that can be added to it. Behind the scenes there have been conversations on the title that has since been changed and the removal of information that was not credible. Overall this article could be developed more on certain sections.
