Which article are you evaluating?
Hou Yifan

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
Hou Yifan is one of the best female chess players in recent history. However, female chess players are not always given the same recognition as male chess players. I'm hoping to uncover some potential bias in the Wikipedia community.
