Which article are you evaluating?
Information and media literacy - Wikipedia

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article because it relates to my course subject, but it's a slightly more specific aspect of that subject. I actually wanted to find a page about social media literacy, but there was no page like that. This was the closest I could find. Apparently there are several problems with this page, according to the box at the top of the article. It is missing citations, written in an unprofessional manner, etc. I thought the article was fine on first read through.

Evaluate the article

 * I appreciate that the article did not focus exclusively on the United States; rather, it also mentioned Asia, the UK, the "Arab world," and Canada. There wasn't much information on some of these other places, but I still appreciated the more global focus.
 * Some of the writing was a little biased or opinionated, for example: "Contrary to the earlier stereotype of the isolated and awkward computer nerd, today's wired kid is a social kid." There is a citation after this sentence, but if it's a quote from a source, it should be in quotation marks. If it's the author's opinion, it probably shouldn't be included, even though it's a very interesting sentence.
 * I think all of the information in the article is good and stays on topic; however, I think the title could be changed to better reflect the content. The article is mainly focused on education and digital natives' media literacy, specifically in schools.
 * I was appalled that only one of seven linked citations I followed worked. All the others gave me 404 messages.
 * There is some discussion on the Talk page. Some people had suggested merging this page with other similar pages.
 * It is rated Start level with mid-importance and within the scope of WikiProject Linguistics. I think it should be part of communication, not linguistics.
