Article Evaluation ''' No need to restate the questions - I was hoping for more details in the answers instead, but still - nice work! - Prof Hammad '''
 * Wikipedia article about the US Census Bureau
 * 1) Is everything in the article relevant to the article topic? Is there anything that distracted you?  Yes, everything in the article is relevant to the topic. Yes, the "Ongoing Surveys" section distracted me the most, because is has lots of bullet points with just the names of the surveys not including at least 1-2 sentences explain what the mission of the survey does.
 * 2) Is the article neutral? Are there any claims, or frames, that appear heavily biased toward a particular position?  The article is neutral. There are no biases, just information based.
 * 3) Are there viewpoints that are overrepresented, or underrepresented? There are four sections that need to have more research on, "Computer Equipment," "Handheld Computers (HHC)," "Security Precautions," and "Success and Failure."
 * 4) Check a few citations. Do the links work? Does the source support the claims in the article? One of the links I checked did not work, reference #22. The source from most of the reference I checked do support the claims in the article.
 * 5) Is each fact referenced with an appropriate, reliable reference? Where does the information come from? Are these neutral sources? If biased, is that bias noted?  One of the reference was from a blog, reference #34.
 * 6) Is any information out of date? Is anything missing that could be added?  No, most of the information are out of date (10+ years).
 * 7) Check out the Talk page of the article. What kinds of conversations, if any, are going on behind the scenes about how to represent this topic?  The conversations covered suggestions on what information to add and to fix/take out, and sources found to help improve the article.
 * 8) How is the article rated? Is it a part of any WikiProjects? The article is rated C-class. It is a part of four other WikiProjects: WikiProjects, WikiProject United States/Government, WikiProject United States Public Policy, WikiProject Economics, and WikiProject Elections and Referendums.
 * 9) How does the way Wikipedia discusses this topic differ from the way we've talked about it in class? Wikipedia has a neutral tone in discussing this topic, but I think our class has somewhat critiqued the US Census Bureau. For example, what can the Bureau do better, the challenges of gathering datas, etc.

Plans to Contribute to the Selected Article
 * I selected an article about Frank W. Notestein. I chose this article because it was rated as "Stub-class", which meant the article only has a short beginning on the topic and needs more content. Some of the sections I planned to add to the article are Early Life, Education, Career, Personal Life, and more, but I'd have to conduct more research on Frank W. Notestein, to know what other section to add. Also, I will add more work done by Frank W. Notestein to the two existed sections, Books and Papers, and his contribution to demography.

Assignment 3 - Part 4

Comment: I accidentally edited the article directly on its page. So, what I'm posting here is the result of it. Before there was only a few sentences in the very first section. I researched and added more information, however, there were not much sources about Frank W. Notestein, and if there were, the sources are outdated. I used those anyway because I have no other options.

Frank Wallace Notestein (August 16, 1902 - February 19, 1983) was an American demographer who contributed significantly to the development of the science. He was the founding director of the Office of Population Research at Princeton University, and later president of the Population Council. He was the first director-consultant of the Population Division of the United Nations from 1947–1948.

Education and Career
In his educational life, Notestein attended three different colleges. Notestein spent his first year of college as a freshman at Alma College but later transferred to College of Wooster in 1923 and received a Bachelor of Science in economics. He then continued to pursue a better education by attending graduate program at Cornell University and later received a PhD in social statistics in 1927. Notestein completed his graduation thesis and set off to Europe where he studied occupational mortality for a year. Notestein was immediately offered a research associate position at Milbank Memorial Fund. He started in 1928, and while he was in the position, Notestein provided better understanding of declining fertility rate and mortality rate in the late nineteenth century and early twentieth century.

Contributions to Demography
Frank W. Notestein in 1945 provided labels for the types of growth patterns of the demographic transition that was found by Warren Thompson sixteen years earlier. With his modern thinking about population, Notestein introduced a program of research and graduate training at American University, as well as creating leadership in scholarship, the formation of policy, and technical assistance in matters relating to populations.

Early/Later Life
Frank W. Notestein was born in Alma, Michigan in August 16, 1902

Frank Notestein was engaged to his classmate, Daphne Limbach, in his senior year in college. Four years later, they married.

Notestein retired in 1968 and moved to live in Newtown, Pennsylvania, with his wife, Daphne Limbach. On February 19, 1983, Notestein died from emphysema at the age of 80.
