 * Is everything in the article relevant to the article topic? Is there anything that distracted you? Everything in the article is relevant to social science. Nothing distracted me, but the long list of contents was a little overwhelming.
 * Is any information out of date? Is anything missing that could be added? Nothing is out of date but the inclusion of a "Social science in the current day" would be nice. There should be a section regarding how the field has evolved to current day.
 * Can you identify any notable equity gaps? Does the article underrepresent or misrepresent historically marginalized populations? I don't believe so.
 * What else could be improved? Maybe the inclusion of more photos to help with contextualizing the information.
 * Is the article neutral? Are there any claims that appear heavily biased toward a particular position? Very neutral
 * Are there viewpoints that are overrepresented, or underrepresented? Some of the branches of social science have longer sections compared to others. Also, opposing viewpoints in each branch isn't present.
 * Check a few citations. Do the links work? Does the source support the claims in the article? Links work and support the claims in the article.
 * Is each fact referenced with an appropriate, reliable reference? Where does the information come from? Are these neutral sources? If biased, is that bias noted? Each fact is refrenced with a reliable reference. The information comes from a lot of trusted and reliable sources. Neutral in nature.
 * Do the sources come from a diverse array of authors and publications? Yes.


 * What kinds of conversations, if any, are going on behind the scenes about how to represent this topic? Don't know
 * How is the article rated? Is it a part of any WikiProjects? I would assume the article is rated quite highly, based on the total number of contributors and the information within. It is apart of wikiprojects.
 * How does the way Wikipedia discusses this topic differ from the way we've talked about it in class? We haven't discussed this topic in class.
