Evaluate the article
I thought everything in the article was relevant to the Serve America Act. The only part that wasn't directly related to information of the act was the criticism section. I think the introduction could be a little more informative on what the article is actually trying to say. it is not until the "volunteerism provisions" section that you know what the act actually consists of. I think something that could be added is updated information about this bill and how it has effected communities that needed more volunteers. The article does briefly mention equity gaps, specifically low income communities, which are communities that are some the focus for this act. The article is written from a neutral point of view, at least that's what it sounds like in regards to the act. The act itself appeared to have been a neutral bill in congress. The sources are reliable, although there is a only a few sources, they come from academic organizations. The links to the sources work, and I can easily see where they got the information from. The article may be a little dense for readers to comprehend. For the most part it is easy to understand the writing. The article is part of a couple of Wikipedia projects, which are "United States/ Government" and "Law." Both of which are considered low importance with a C rating. There is some "Talk" about the article, with a couple of users. These consist of changing the bullet points to paragraphs, in order to make it easier to read. As well as someone wanting to have update section, since the legislation is a decade old.
