Article Evaluation

 * Everything in the article is relevant to the topic and is related to the sociologist Georg Simmel. One thing that slightly distracted me was the heading "Social geometry" because I was unfamiliar with this concept, but upon clicking the link, different sociological concepts were explained more clearly.
 * Yes, the article is neutral. There is no sign of evident bias.
 * One viewpoint that is underrepresented is Simmel's idea of "formal sociology". When clicking this link, the Wikipedia page for it is only one sentence.
 * The links to citations work and the sources support claims made in the article. Some sources were in German, so I was not able to justify if they support the claims made or not. Upon translation, they seem accurate.
 * A good portion of the information comes from Simmel's publications, which are reliable sources. A lot of other sources are neutral internet sources. I noticed that a lot of what is written is word- for - word from sources I found, not paraphrazed.
 * More information could be added on the different ideas Simmel had (such as formal sociology, mentioned above).
 * Some thoughts expressed in the talk page include the pictures in the article and how they are slightly repetitive. Another issue is discussed is if it is possible to get a translation of Simmels' works. All the comments on the talk page are from 2006-2007.
 * This article is rated as a "Start- class". It is part of three Wiki Projects.
 * The article focuses more on Simmel's life and works while in class when studying sociologists, we concentrated more on the new ideas they presented.

Plans for Article

 * Upon finding sources and reading the Wikipedia page more closely, I found a lot of copyright violations which I plan to fix.


 * A big problem was that this Wikipedia page is plagiarized a lot. There are full sentences that are written word for word from the sources. Therefore, I plan on editing this so that it would no longer be plagiarized.


 * I plan to contribute more information on formal sociology
 * I also plan on trying to find translations of the titles some of Simmel's works if that is possible, as mentioned by someone in the Talk page
