Think back to how to evaluate an article. Look at the article's content, tone, and sourcing.


 * Is the article's content relevant to the topic? Are some areas under- or over-developed?
 * The article's content is relevant to the topic on Los Angeles Times, including its history, list of prizes, competition and rivalry, employees, etc. There are definitely areas that felt over-developed such as the history of Los Angeles Times as compared to other sections such as controversies. There were a number of controversies but each of them was covered and mentioned briefly.
 * Is it written neutrally?
 * Yes, for the most parts. I did not perceive the article was trying to convince me to believe in certain materials.
 * Does each claim have a citation? Are the citations reliable?
 * Most claims do seem to have a citation to back up. However, not all of the citations are reliable because some are not peer-reviewed and scholarly journals. Moreover, there are also articles' links that are not found and not updated.
 * Does the article tackle one of Wikipedia's equity gaps (coverage of historically underrepresented or misrepresented populations or subjects)?
 * I believe it tackle of some parts but there are definitely rooms for improvement. There is no one section specifically tackle the Wikipedia equity gaps, especially in the history section there is predominantly white male. Minorities are mentioned in some sections but it is brief compared to the history section.
