Article Selection: Hypertension
- Will edit Hypertension: Causes: Primary Hypertension information regarding environmental factors:

"Blood pressure rises with aging and the risk of becoming hypertensive in later life is considerable. Several environmental factors influence blood pressure. (Can be edited to highlight Luo Study that reported that blood pressure varied based off of environment). High salt intake raises the blood pressure in salt sensitive individuals; lack of exercise, obesity, and depression can play a role in individual cases. The possible roles of other factors such as caffeine consumption, and vitamin D deficiency are less clear. Insulin resistance, which is common in obesity and is a component of syndrome X(or the metabolic syndrome), is also thought to contribute to hypertension. One review suggests that sugar may play an important role in hypertension and salt is just an innocent bystander. "

Article Evaluation: The Queen's Medical Center
'''Is everything in the article relevant to the article topic? Is there anything that distracted you?'''

Everything in the article seems relevant. The formatting could be better as a large section titled "Description" isn't very helpful for navigation and finding relevant information.

'''Is any information out of date? Is anything missing that could be added?'''

No information seems out of date, however more information regarding what the hospital provides (such as departments and other services) may be useful.

What else could be improved?

Adding more detail about the hospital. For example, Mayo Clinic's wikipedia page is broken up into history, locations, core operations, innovation, leadership, contributions to medicine, rankings, etc.

'''Is the article neutral? Are there any claims that appear heavily biased toward a particular position?'''

Yes it is neutral.

Are there viewpoints that are overrepresented, or underrepresented?

No viewpoints seem overrepresented.

'''Check a few citations. Do the links work? Does the source support the claims in the article?'''

Yes. Yes.

'''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?'''

Mostly. The information comes from history books regarding the founding. There seems to be a need for more information regarding the current facilities and practices.

What kinds of conversations, if any, are going on behind the scenes about how to represent this topic?

Only one question regarding the name change of the hospital.

'''How is the article rated? Is it a part of any WikiProjects?'''
