Article Evaluation

The Gender equality page is relevant to our class because we are studying women though out the history of Africa. The page is lengthy but keeps based in information and not frills. The information is up to date and is still being updated on a quite regular basis. There has been many people that contribute to the page overall. The page itself indicates a few citation errors that need to be corrected, but most of the citations are non-biased. The overall quality feels good and very well set up.

The article is unbiased. It shows different points in history that equality was gained for women, and presents citations to back up the information. The page does not just talk about equality only, it also discusses the biases and other inequalities that take place. I feel as if all sides are well represented in this article and the article provides information from a multitude of sources.

There was two of the citations that were incorrect, but the page says that they are incorrect and are working to correct them. Also the links provided have worked and have been for the most part unbiased. There was one or two biased citations that were used very minimally.

One conversation that is going on in the Talks page is discussing one of the paragraphs from the "history" portion on the page. This was posted on October 16, 2018 so it is being updated often. The article is apart of many WikiProjects including: Gender Studies, feminism, sociology, human rights, and more. Most of our class has shown how women can be strong leaders, and this page presents ideas from history when women were treated and still are treated very poorly, so it is showing nearly the opposite of what we have learned thus far in class.
