 * PETACHIAH EVALUATION
 * Is everything in the article relevant to the article topic? Is there anything that distracted you?
 * His travels are definitely the most important aspect of this man and should be stressed most (as they essentially are). The use of "probably" was distracting but understandably necessary. Some of the language was wordy/off.
 * Is the article neutral? Are there any claims, or frames, that appear heavily biased toward a particular position?
 * Seems neutral
 * Are there viewpoints that are overrepresented, or underrepresented?
 * This page focuses on how he describes things without getting into his viewpoints.
 * Check a few citations. Do the links work? Does the source support the claims in the article?
 * External source is a bad link. No longer links properly to Petachiah's work. Otherwise, citations fit and worked.
 * 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?
 * The actual specific details about his travels aren't given a direct citation. Presumably they come right from his own work, but are not listed as such. These details are from his descriptions. If he did not actually go to these places there would be no true way for a scholar to know.
 * Is any information out of date? Is anything missing that could be added?
 * Information looks up to date (relatively speaking). More external sources about his travels could be added. There's a line discussing his death that is listed as needing a citation.
 * 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?
 * It's not talked about a lot. There's a proposed move from 3 years ago that was done by the same person who proposed it.
 * How is the article rated? Is it a part of any WikiProjects?
 * It was peer reviewed. It's in the Biography, Judaism, and Czech Republic WikiProjects
 * How does the way Wikipedia discusses this topic differ from the way we've talked about it in class?
 * We've barely mentioned this person in class. The article focuses on Petachiah's descriptions of his travels, but not on any of his ideas.
