Article Evaluation:

I will be reviewing the Gauss-Matuyama reversal article.

Is everything in the article relevant to the article topic? Everything in the article is relevant.

Is there anything that distracted you? The article is objectively scientific with no unnecessary information.

Is any information out of date? The article which describes the sedimentary dating method was released 2006-09-23.

Is anything missing that could be added? The article notes the biological effects of the event. It does not attempt to explain the relationship between this phenomenon and biological effects.

What else could be improved? The biggest concern for the article is the sheer lack of information on the topic.

Is scientific information presented clearly, accurately, and without jargon? The information is presented in an unbiased and factual manner.

Does the article link to other Wikipedia articles for related topics? The article mentions similar phenomenon:


 * Brunhes–Matuyama reversal
 * Eltanin impact of 2.51 ± 0.07 million years ago
 * Jaramillo reversal

Is the article neutral? There are no emotional words that carry strong diction.

Are there any claims that appear heavily biased toward a particular position? The article is not biased.

Are there viewpoints that are overrepresented, or underrepresented? Most of the information is under-presented. The previous authors are not under presenting information to push a personal vendetta, but instead it's because the article is not developed as a whole.

Do the links work? The only reference does not work. We receive the following error: DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN.

Does the source support the claims in the article? The only source link does not work.

Is each fact referenced with an appropriate, reliable reference? There is no was to verify the authenticity of the reference because the link does not work.

'''Where does the information come from? Are these neutral sources? If biased, is that bias noted?''' The link does not work.

'''Now take a look at how others are talking about this article on the talk page. What kinds of conversations, if any, are going on behind the scenes about how to represent this topic?''' The community is challenging the relationships presented in the article. Were hominids really affected by the Gauss-Matuyama reversal?

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