Article Evaluation on Textual Scholarships

Most everything in this topic is related to the article. The publisher give s generalization of what a Textual Scholarship is and what they do. I'm still not really sure if textual scholarships are what this person was referring to because they talked about textual scholars and what they do. I think that this would be a better article for Textual Scholars because they provided examples of textual scholars. The word scholarship made me think that this was heading towards a way to give money out for schooling. The article was not biased in any way, it was strictly factual information. The links do work well and they lead you in a very clear way. Also, the sources are reliable because one of the main sources is from a man that is the president of "Textual Scholars in Society". Overall i feel that i got the general knowledge of this topic.
