Which article are you evaluating?
Welfare Queen: Welfare queen

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article because it relates to the topics we will be covering in our class this semester and I'm hoping to see an intersectional approach to this topic within the text of this article. This article matters because the term "welfare queen" has been a harmful dog whistle that politicians have used to stereotype and create stigma around women and mothers of color. Therefore, it is important to educate people on the origin and meaning of this term. I think this article does a good job of stating facts and not being too argumentative or pushing a narrow point of view.

Evaluate the article
I think that this is a useful and educational article. As stated above, I think this article does a good job of being factual and having a neutral point of view. I was most impressed with the talk section of this article. I saw very good discussions happening in that section and some of the recent edits made to it are ones where people thought that it could use more intersectional analysis so that was nice to see. I checked a few of the links and they all seem to work and there seems to be a good variety of reliable sources used for this article. I like that there is a "Further Reading" section in case anyone wants to read more into this topic.
