Article Evaluation (North Korea-United States Relations):

 * All entries are relevant to the topic being reported on.


 * No part of the article was distracting in the sense that it took away from the topic being discussed


 * Only one section has been flagged for potential bias. The developments surrounding North Korean-United States relations under the Trump Administration have been flagged as being "slanted towards recent events" given that the information has developed within the last year.
 * No differing viewpoints are over nor underrepresented. All areas of the topic are well addressed with a high amount of detail. Varying accounts of diplomatic interactions between the two countries were both taken into consideration and reported in fair distribution.
 * The links apportioned to information in the article seem to be in good working order, and they do seem to back up the information being presented.
 * Facts are being backed up by reputable outlets such as CNN, The Economist, and the Oxford University Press. Most sections of the article are being presented in historical contexts, excluding the latest section on the Trump Administration, which has been noted as being potentially slanted due to its more recent development.
 * No information seems to be out of date. Both countries have up to date statistics and general information being presented at the beginning of the article (population, government type, leader)
 * There are a wide amount of discussions going on in the talk page of the article. Topics range from the article's placement as part of larger articles, dating/factual errors, addition of information/events, etc.
 * The article is rated C-Class, and is part of three WikiProjects (International Relations, Korea, and the United States)
 * The wikipedia article discusses this topic in a much broader, more extensive format than the way it is discussed in class. The article observes the history and origin of relations between the United States and North Korea, along with the changing circumstances of those relations throughout the 20th century and into the present day. In class, when relations between the United States and North Korea is discussed, it tends to be strictly focused on the present day, only taking into consideration the tendencies of the current leaders of each state, and ultimately disregarding the deliberations between past leaders and diplomats, as well as the origin of the states' relations in general, etc.
