Which article are you evaluating?
Arabi Malayalam

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose to evaluate this article because It has to do with a topic related to this class. I also chose It because I was interested in learning of this language since the word Arabi means Arabic which is a language I grew up speaking.

Evaluate the article
While the article speaks mostly on the topic of the Malayalam language, It had very minimal information and did not say enough on the topic. It mainly spoke on who speaks the language instead of the back round and culture behind It. I decided to click on one of the links under writing systems and It directed me to another article related to the same topic. This article spoke on the language more in depth which helped me learn more information that I was originally looking for. Although the article seemed to have little information, It gave sources that guided you to more information.

The tone of this article was more on the neutral side and did not seem to have many biases towards the topic. The topic itself is not very opinionated and does not have different view points that could cause bias.

All of the references and links cited In the article work and lead to articles that give information more in depth on the topic at hand. The links given do not show signs of bias in the wiki article. The references at the bottom of the page all work and lead to articles that relate back to the topic of this language. One of the references that stood out to me the most was the Muallim Journal of Social Sciences and Humanities. This link showed clear evidence on how the Malayalam language has an Islamic background which was mentioned in the Wikipedia article. There aren't many comments in the talk page by other people besides one that mentions how the article is almost there but not just yet. I agree with this comment because there are many references and sources, however the article itself should go more in depth and detail.
