Kachin People

 * Article Title: Kachin People
 * Article Evaluation: The article does not incorporate much of the content on the Kachin people that is out there. It completely glosses over the Kachin genocide and does not refer to any past or on-going conflict between the people and the Myanmar state. What is written is done well and with neutrality, but the large content gaps makes the page incomplete.

New Jersey Race Riots

 * Article title: 1971 Asbury Park race riots
 * Article Evaluation: The article relies wholly/mostly on a single source. Furthermore, there is little information on the events of the riots and only a brief history. The content that is present is neutral.
 * Sources: https://www.nytimes.com/1970/07/08/archives/46-shot-in-rioting-at-asbury-park-curfew-imposed-mob-of-hundreds.html, https://www.researchgate.net/publication/304904583_From_Riot_to_Revolt_Asbury_Park_in_July_1970

Parallel Society

 * Article title: Parallel Society
 * Article Evaluation: This is a definitional Wikipedia page but lacks significant information about the use, utility, and criticism of the term. There is only a brief definition and origin history present currently.
 * Sources: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/17477778.2019.1664265?journalCode=tjsm20, https://oxford.universitypressscholarship.com/view/10.1093/acprof:oso/9780199652761.001.0001/acprof-9780199652761-chapter-4

Assyrians in Iraq

 * Article title: Assyrian Exodus from Iraq
 * Article Evaluation: The article has a well-developed background section, but lacks information on the exodus and violence perpetrated by the Iraqi government and citizens. They only have a brief timeline and do not talk about impacts, diaspora, etc. The article also explicitly references the "Guardian" as a source within the page and may benefit from more work on neutrality.

Gangs in LA

 * Article title: Azusa 13
 * Article Evaluation: The article offers a good background of the group, but fails to adequately mention their involvement in hate crimes. Specifically, the ideology of the group which espoused values of racial cleansing of African-Americans in LA. The article does have a neutral tone and the content that is present is of good quality.
