== 1959 Tibetan uprising Edit == Prior to the PLA invasion, relations between Lhasa and the Khampa chieftains had deteriorated, although the Khampa remained spiritually loyal to the Dalai Lama throughout. Because of these strained relations, the Khampa had actually assisted the Chinese in their initial invasion, before becoming the guerrilla resistance they are now known for.

Article Evaluation HST 101
I wanted to try an article that was a little bit more fully put together to try to challenge myself to find any really good information that it might be missing, so I chose the 1959 Tibetan uprising. Once again, the article overall remains on topic, and relatively neutral, although it appears that the rebel side is much more represented than the PLA side. Most of the citation links work, and the sources support the linked statements, but the sources section is a mess, with lots citations that seem way to long, and two completely separate source sections, the second not linked to any statements in the article. The very first paragraph after the summary is completely lacking citations. There's not a whole lot going on on the talk page here, although there is one interesting comment titled "Soviet empire thesis" that could use some attention and more conversation. The page is part of WikiProject Tibet, WikiProject China, and the Military History WikiProject. We haven't gotten to this subject yet in class, but the article seems to go fairly in depth on the subject, and it seems like something that would make a great discussion topic!

Article Evaluation
I chose to evaluate the Medieval Latin wiki page. Overall, it appears to remain on topic, remain neutral, and provide objective information. This page is unfortunately rampant with uncited material. The entirety of the "Vulgar Latin" and "Changes in vocabulary, syntax, and grammar," are completely lacking any citations. There are links to several other related pages spread throughout the text, but no actual citations. The references and various links at the bottom appear to need a great deal of cleaning up. Fortunately, the page is a part of several Wiki-Projects, with a "start-class" rating and "top-importance" for two of the three projects. The talk page also seems to be full of users who know what they're talking about, which of course is a good sign for the page. Hopefully, with continued effort and a little more research and more expanded source material, the page can be fully fleshed out.
