Article Evaluation

Most of the things written in this article about Carrie Nation relate to the topic. It is mostly about her life and what experiences she has gone through. There are some parts where it talks about her mother's life and health. This is a little distracting because this article is supposed to be about Carrie Nation and bringing in the information that was included about her mother did not add anything relevant to the article. At the end of the article, there is a small paragraph about the hospital Nation was brought to when she collapsed during her speech. This was distracting from the main topic because this article is supposed to be about Nation's life and the information about the hospital is not helping the reader to better understand Nation's life.

Most of the citations are linked to other websites and sources that work. There are a few citations that are listed, but do not link to any other sources. There is no where to click on them in order for it to open a new page with the website, so it may be a printed source. Each source relates to the article. They all include information about Carrie Nation that is relevant to add in this article.

Almost every sentence links to a reference at the bottom of the page. Most of these sources that are referenced are websites that do exist and provide relevant information. There are a total of thirty-two references, so there is a lot of reliable information cited in the article. There are also some words that are highlighted blue in the article. When these words are clicked on, they bring the viewer to another wikipedia page with more information about that word or topic in particular.

Most of the things that are being discussed on the article's talk page are about "junk" and "junk characters" that were added into the article and how some of the users have removed them.

Other users have posted about information that is in the article, whether or not it is correct. There are also some users posting about which version of Nation's name is correct. One user wrote about the term "terrorism" being used to describe Nation's actions. This user explained how he deleted this description and gave a description as to why they thought this was incorrect.
