'''Is everything in the article relevant to the article topic? Is there anything that distracted you?''' I looked at the NAMES Project AIDS Memorial Quilt page. Everything in this article is relevant to the topic. I was slightly distracted by the part of the article that described the different materials that the Quilt was made of, I don't really understand why that portion of the article was important. '''Is the article neutral? Are there any claims, or frames, that appear heavily biased toward a particular position?''' The Article seems to be neutral, although it does not list any of the opinions of people that are against the AIDS memorial quilt, if those people exist. Are there viewpoints that are overrepresented, or underrepresented? People that might be against the AIDS quilt are not represented in this article. '''Check a few citations. Do the links work? Does the source support the claims in the article?''' One of the links I clicked on worked, and it supported the claims made in the article. The other link was outdated. '''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?''' There are a lot of references in this article, and the ones that work are from sources like New Your Times articles, which are not the best source but also not the worst. These are examples of liberal media and this bias is not acknowledged. '''Is any information out of date? Is anything missing that could be added?''' I don't think that the information is out of date, it seems to be updated pretty regularly. '''Check out the Talk page of the article. What kinds of conversations, if any, are going on behind the scenes about how to represent this topic? How is the article rated? Is it a part of any WikiProjects?''' The talk page acknowledged a lot of the bias in the article. There is one person saying that the article should mention that the quilt is "good," which would make it more bias, and another that disagrees with the AIDS quilt project accusing the founder of stealing funds and corruption. How does the way Wikipedia discusses this topic differ from the way we've talked about it in class? The Wikipedia article includes a lot more details then what we included in class.
