Which article are you evaluating?
I am evaluating the article Coded Bias.

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article because I am familiar with the documentary and have watched it a couple of times. This article matters because of how important the documentary is. The purpose of the documentary was to shed light on the issues of facial recognition with the use of AI algorithms and how it can unjustly target those of color. This issue ultimately made its way to the US congress and caused big tech companies to modify their algorithms to improve their facial recognition toward people of color. This article helps people who have not seen the documentary understand what it is about. This helps due to the title which could make others want to avoid it thinking it would be to technically detailed or boring. Just reading the article and looking at it from a point of view, if the documentary had not been seen, I would say that it provided enough information to make you consider to watch the documentary.

Evaluate the article
The lead section of this article gave a basic description of Coded Bias only as an American documentary, who it was directed by, where it was premiered and the contributors that made it possible. Unfortunately the lead section does not offer the reader any brief description on what the documentary is about. The content of the article is relevant to the topic. The information is up-to-date and while it isn't missing anything or showing displaying content that does not belong, it would have been nice to explain some of the issues that Joy Buolamwini experienced and issues brought up that were found in facial recognition technologies that law enforcement used by big tech which were proven to be biased against people of color. This article does address heavily to historically underrepresented populations.

The tone and balance of the article is neutral and does not offer any bias on the topic. The article does show critics reviews of the documentary but does not have bias point of view from the topic of the article. It does mention the wide areas the documentary covers on the discriminative issues that AI have on race and gender. But does not try to make the reader decide if AI is bad for people of color, rather issues that were found by researchers in AI algorithms. Most of the sources used in this article are current while there are some that are no longer accessible but only a couple were not able to be found. However from the sources that were reviewed, they provided information that was reflected in the article.

The organization of the writing was clear and concise. There was a good flow of information from one section to the next. The grammar and spelling in the article are fine and not spelling errors were seen. This article included one image that was the poster for the documentary found only in the infobox. The image of the poster captures the essence of the documentary. The Coded Bias article is part of three WikiProjects but there do not seem to be any talks available on the article.

Overall the article serves its purpose in letting the reader have an understanding of who directed the documentary. It covers at the core of what the documentary is about and of its significance while giving reference to critics reviews. I think the article is developed well for what it is trying to cover but I think it could have given a little more details of the areas the documentary covered on the issues of the AI algorithm and with people of color.
