Which article are you evaluating?
Grace Lin

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose to evaluate this article because Grace Lin is one of my favorite childhood authors. This article is rated as start-class and low- to mid-importance in several WikiProjects. Most of the article reads as a resume, along with a brief biography.

Evaluate the article
Everything in the article is relevant to the article topic and I saw no notable equity gaps. The article maintains a neutral tone, without any heavily biased claims or viewpoints. However, I found that the information listed was somewhat limited, perhaps due to a lack of reliable secondary sources on Lin, and that this article is not completely up to date, as it does not include her most recent award: 2022 Children's Literature Legacy Award.

Most of the references appear to be interviews of Lin or taken from her personal website, though any bias from Lin herself is not detectable in the article. The references used in this article all seem to work and support the claims in the article. However, not all of the facts are referenced properly, especially in the "Awards" section.

Moving on to the talk page, the article has been categorized as start-class in the Biography, Children's literature, Asian Americans, and Women writers WikiProjects, with low- to mid-importance. The conversation is limited to two comments from 2010. An editor named "Syrthiss" notes that some of the information in a prior version of the article used answers.com as a reference, but this has since been fixed.
