Good Article Criteria
A good article is:


 * 1) Well written:
 * 2) the prose is clear and concise, and the spelling and grammar are correct; and
 * 3) it complies with the manual of style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation.
 * 4) Verifiable with no original research:
 * 5) it contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline;
 * 6) all inline citations are from reliable sources, including those for direct quotations, statistics, published opinion, counter-intuitive or controversial statements that are challenged or likely to be challenged, and contentious material relating to living persons—science-based articles should follow the scientific citation guidelines;
 * 7) it contains no original research; and
 * 8) it contains no copyright violations nor plagiarism.
 * 9) Broad in its coverage:
 * 10) it addresses the main aspects of the topic; and
 * 11) it stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style).
 * 12) Neutral: it represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each.
 * 13) Stable: it does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute.
 * 14) Illustrated, if possible, by media such as images, video, or audio:
 * 15) media are tagged with their copyright statuses, and valid fair use rationales are provided for non-free content; and
 * 16) media are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions.

Does The Topic exist in another article?
Sort of. It appears in the list of City mysteries but does not have its own page.

Does the Topic meet Wikipedia's notability requirements?
I believe so, yes. I was directed by a professor who teaches this book in her class towards several books and dissertations I'll be trying to get a hold of through our library system and through online searches. I've also found a few articles on my own through the SFSU library system. These sources are:


 * 1) Beneath the american renaissance by David Reynolds
 * 2) Welcome to Sodom, the cultural work of city mysteries by Paul Erickson
 * 3) Cultural work, city crime, reading, pleasure by David M. Stewart
 * 4) I'm told that a man named Christopher Looby has written on George Thompson
 * 5) "The shameless woman is the worst of men", sexual aggression in Nineteenth century sensational novels by Anne Dalke

Does it warrant its own article?
Yes. While "City Crimes" appears on a list in one page I've found so far on wikipedia, it doesn't have its own page, nor does its author George Thompson. Therefore, there's no real place for anything about the book except on its own page.

Other article evaluation: Digital Humanities
Everything felt relevant in the article. some of the arguments in the criticisms section are from a few years ago and there's likely current voices that have something to add to the discussion but I'm not sure how necessary that would be. Most sources are from 2012-2016 which is fairly recent. Article appears generally neutral, however there seems to be more discussion on why digital humanities could be bad than good, and as such that side is over-represented. Possibly adding a "praise" section to balance the "criticism" section could be beneficial. I checked a few sources (interestingly one is a video of what I think is a professor speaking which may or may not qualify as a published source). this article is rated as a level 5 c-class? will ask in class what that means, but I presume it's a good rating. part of the science, philosophy, history, literature, universities, and computing wikiprojects. There's an interesting conversation of adding a criticism that digital humanities will just be absorbed into regular humanities which I don't think we talked about in class.
