Peer review

Hi May erica! Here is my peer review for you:

Complete your peer review exercise below, providing as much constructive criticism as possible. The more detailed suggestions you provide, the more useful it will be to your classmate. Make sure you consider each of the following aspects:

Lead
Guiding questions:

Has the Lead been updated to reflect the new content added by your peer?

The lead section is currently empty. '''A new lead has not been added to reflect new changes made to the article. If this is an area that you are editing, you should add a note on the draft page to mention it is a work in progress.'''

Content
Guiding questions:

Is the content added relevant to the topic?

'''Yes, the content added is relevant to the topic of bilingual education and translanguaging. It discusses the historical background, the emergence of translanguaging and its importance in education.'''

Is the content added up-to-date?

Yes, the new content is backed by a reliable source of education. The source cited, Garcia and Kleifgen (2020), is current.

Is there content that is missing or content that does not belong?

'''Upon reviewing, it seems there was a mistake in the citation within the paragraph. The paragraph mentions García (2009) while the reference lists García (2020). This inconsistency needs to be addressed for accuracy.'''

Does the article deal with one of Wikipedia's equity gaps? Does it address topics related to historically underrepresented populations or topics?

'''Yes, the article does deal with Wikipedia's equity gap, as it addresses the topic of bilingualism and language education which is related to underrepresented populations. Bilingual education often is prevalent in communities where English may not be the first language spoken at home. These communities could include immigrants, or indigenous peoples, and ethnic minorities. They could face linguistic barriers when it comes to education. By discussing bilingual education, the article represents educational needs and experiences of these historically underrepresented populations.'''

Tone and Balance
Guiding questions:

Is the content added neutral?

Yes, the content added appears to have a neutral tone.

Are there any claims that appear heavily biased toward a particular position?

No, there are no claims that appear heavily biased toward any position.

Are there viewpoints that are overrepresented, or underrepresented?

'''The article focuses on the benefits and the evolution of translanguaging and bilingual education. While it's important to highlight the positive aspects, it could also be worth mentioning any potential challenges or criticisms to this approach. This would give a more balanced article to incorporate all perspectives.'''

Does the content added attempt to persuade the reader in favour of one position or away from another?

'''No, the content does not attempt to persuade the reader in favour of one position or the other. Providing different viewpoints could help readers make their own judgement by giving them a complete comprehensive understanding of the topic.'''

Sources and References
Guiding questions:

Is all new content backed up by a reliable secondary source of information?

Yes, the new content is backed up with a reliable secondary sourch of information from a scholarly article.

Does the content accurately reflect what the cited sources say? (You'll need to refer to the sources to check this.)

I could not check the source cited as the link for the reference did not provide a view of the full article, but only the abstract.

Are the sources thorough - i.e. Do they reflect the available literature on the topic? N/A

Are the sources current?

While Fishman (1967) represents an older perspective, it contributes to the historical context of bilingual education.

Are the sources written by a diverse spectrum of authors? Do they include historically marginalized individuals where possible?

'''I am not sure, as it does not specifically mention whether the authors represent a diverse spectrum or include historically marginalized individuals. Although the reference cited includes a Spanish sounding name (and foreign sounding names) so it might represent a diverse spectrum or historically marginalized individuals.'''

Are there better sources available, such as peer-reviewed articles in place of news coverage or random websites? (You may need to do some digging to answer this.)

The original article contains many peer-reviewed articles. The article could benefit from additional sources to provide a broader perspective on the topic.

Check a few links. Do they work?

'''There are two issues with the reference to García and Kleifgen (2020). First, the citation includes a date error that needs to be corrected. Secondly, the link provided in the reference only leads to the abstract and not the full article. This limits the readers' access to the complete information. To address this, you might consider finding an alternative source that provides access to the full text of the article or replacing it with another reliable source if available.'''

Organization
Guiding questions:

Is the content added well-written - i.e. Is it concise, clear, and easy to read?

Yes, the content is concise, clear, and easy to read.

Does the content added have any grammatical or spelling errors?

The content does not have any apparent grammatical or spelling errors.

Is the content added well-organized - i.e. broken down into sections that reflect the major points of the topic?

The content added is well-organized, with  sections discussing the history and emergence of translanguaging in language education.

Images and Media

 * Does the article include images that enhance understanding of the topic? N/A
 * Are images well-captioned? N/A
 * Do all images adhere to Wikipedia's copyright regulations? N/A
 * Are the images laid out in a visually appealing way? N/A

Overall impressions
Guiding questions:

Has the content added improved the overall quality of the article - i.e. Is the article more complete?

The content added has the potential to improve the overall quality of the article by providing clearer information on the history and emergence of translanguaging in language education.

What are the strengths of the content added?

The strengths of the content added include relevance to the topic, and clear organization.

How can the content added be improved?

'''To further improve the article, the Lead section should be finalized, and additional sources could be included to provide a more comprehensive view. Consider incorporating a more balanced discussion by including perspectives from researchers or educators who may have different views on the effectiveness of translanguaging in education. The original article could be further improved by rewriting sections with a more effective concise summarization approach.'''
