Evaluating On Bullshit
The article On Bullshit talks about an essay that was published in 1986 about the deception on bullshit; In 2005 it was published as a book and made it to New York Times Best Seller list. Frankfurt describes bullshit as "speech intended to persuade without regard for truth." As a liar they care about the truth but uses bullshit to hide it. The bullshitter doesn't care if the information is true or false. They feed off of misinterpretation. To conclude, the book talks about how he thinks that his concern makes a distinction between a "bullshitter" and a lier. Also, bullshitters are the biggest threat to the truth than liers are.

The article is written relativity neutral and informational. It covers key aspects of all the sections. The article is not bias toward on section or the other. It talks about the author's background and the history of the book while giving a detailed summery of the book. To conclude, there was a great quantity of information in this article, and little to none of it was either off topic or discussed other topics in the article.

All of the different sections do have citations, but most of the citations are from 2005. The earliest citation that I compiled from this article is from fall of 1986. The latest citation is from 2020 so there could have been update to the information in the article. It would be in your best interest to look up other sources to make sure the information from the article is still valid.

It is important to note that with over twenty-five citations, the article is very well sourced with very few gaps in the information. If there is anything to be questioned about the information there is plenty of opportunity to follow the sources to validate the information.

The article covers a lot of information about the book and the essay so I would say it covers a lot of the equality gaps, but there are possible some missing that they didn't cover in the article on Wikipedia. It doesn't directly say it covers the wikipedia equality gaps.
