 "Article evaluation" 

First, I find some theories necessary to be added to the second content "Theories for migration for work in the 21st century."

For instance, segmented labor market theory social capital theory, as presented in Massey (1999) would be instrumental in the understanding the frameworks in studying immigration. Another point is that each of the theory should be in conversation more. Sociologists and economists have constructed their arguement on top of the accumulations of previous studies, with conversation with other theorists, so I belive those processes should more be reflected when explaining different theories

The top ten immigration countries and the top ten countries of origins listed in the page need reliable refrerences. For instance, the United Arab Emirates, which has 84% of their population forein-born, the highest among all other countries, is not listed.

Above all, broadly speaking, the sources seem to be out of date, as many of them are published around 2000-2018 and immigration issue has changed drastically since then. For example, recent tendency to turn to exclusive nationalism is one striking fact. Brexit and the emergence of president Trump in the U.S., adn over all, all the people who are in strong support of the movement should be at least touched upon in the article. In addition, the page is oriented towards statisticss and theories rather than actual facts and descriptions, including recent trends.

Article: Japanese Americans

1.Add a reliable citation (Section "Intermarriage")

"Before the 1960s, the trend of Japanese Americans marrying partners outside their racial or ethnic group was generally low, as well a great many traditional Issei parents encouraged Nisei to marry only within their ethnic/cultural group. Arrangements to purchase and invite picture brides from Japan to relocate and marry Issei or Nisei males was commonplace.[citation needed]"

can be modified as;

"Picture marriage (shashin kekkon) was a common practice for Japanese immigrants in the early 20th century in the United States, of arranging marriage by exchanging portraits and information on each other’s backgrounds. The marriage was usually set by relatives or acquaintances of Japanese immigrant men and Japanese women in Japan, across the Pacific Ocean[1][1]"

2.Add details to the given information (Section "Immigration")

"People from Japan began migrating to the US in significant numbers following the political, cultural, and social changes stemming from the Meiji Restoration in 1868. Large numbers went to Hawaii and later the West Coast."

can be modified as;

"Japanese immigration to the United States begun as contract laborers. The very first labor immigrants who came to the United States worked in sugar plantations in Hawaii, and they were recruited in the vicinity of Edo, the present Tokyo, and Yokohama. 148 workers arrived in Hawaii in 1868, but since they were all nonfarmers, they were sometimes involved in brutal treatment by mounted field overseers called luna.[2][2]"

3.Add details and update numbers of the recent trend of immigration (Section"Immigration")

"In recent years, immigration from Japan has been more like that from Western Europe. The numbers involve on average 5 to 10 thousand per year, and is similar to the amount of immigration to the US from Germany. This is in stark contrast to the rest of Asia, where family reunification is the primary impetus for immigration. Japanese Americans also have the oldest demographic structure of any non-European ethnic group in the US."

Information below can be added to this context as;

3 remarkable host states are California, Hawaii and New York. The second dominant groups are Washington, Texas and Florida. As a recent trend, for example in fiscal year 2016, Japanese account for about 1.1% of all Asian migrants in the U.S.(5,207 out of 462,299), and about 0.4% (5,207 out of 1,183,505) of overall foreign-born population in the U.S. Comparing with other Asian migrants[3][3].

Japanese Americans (日系アメリカ人 Nikkei Amerikajin) are Americans who are fully or partially of Japanese descent, especially those who identify with that ancestry, along with their cultural characteristics. Japanese Americans were among the three largest Asian American ethnic communities during the 20th century; but, according to the 2000 census, they have declined in number to constitute the sixth largest Asian American group at around 1.3 million, including those of partial ancestry. According to the 2010 census, the largest Japanese American communities were found in California with 272,528, Hawaii with 185,502, New York with 37,780, Washington with 35,008, Illinois with 17,542, and Ohio with 16,995. Southern California has the largest Japanese American population in North America, and the city of Torrance holds the densest Japanese American population in the 48 contiguous states.
