Article Evaluations
I read through the "Urbanization" article and I didn't find anything that was really distracting or off topic. I also reviewed the article titled Inner-City and that was an interesting article which is directly related to urbanization. The inner-city area is usually the core of an urban area, especially in European cities. However, in the United States, inner-city neighborhoods were victim to decline and neglect due to rapid suburbanization. This article needs some much more citations. So far, this article is neutral and unbiased. The inner-city article is part of the Urban Studies and Planing and Sociology WikiProjects. This article is missing a wealth of information. Also, it only has a section Brazil. This article is quite limited in scope and needs to expanded. Furthermore, this article needs more organization and better structure.

I think there is significant historical information missing from the article about the history of urbanization, its described as mostly as if it's a new phenomenon. Urbanization is well known to have been existent in civilizations throughout Africa, the Near east and the Americas. The article seems to be neutral and does not imply anything other than its intention which is to explain the concept of urbanization. I think there should be more emphasis on describing non-europeans urban centers throughout the world as well European urban cities.

There are multiple areas where the author(s) did not add citations. However, the citations that were made look correct, but there could be a few errors in the citations. Everything looks to be up-to-date. Some of the citations are a bit odd, nonetheless, the links work for most of the citations. The talk page is mainly focused on how to make the article better by identifying and recommending specific edits that should be made by the author. The Urbanization article is described as being a vital article and it appears to be part of Wiki projects. This is part of the Public Policy, Architecture, Sociology, and Urban Studies and Planning WikiProjects. There are far more historical references and supplemental information in the course readings we've done so far. The Wikipedia article is not well detailed in the historical aspects of urbanization.

Article Evaluations Week 5
The first article I have chosen to evaluate will be the city of Brussels, Belgium. This is one of the most multicultural cities in all of Europe. The wikipedia article on Brussels did not mention enough social aspects about immigration and that is where I plan to make my second edit. I will create a new section titled Immigration to Brussels and then fill in this important topic. Furthermore, there is another wikipedia page that details the demographics of Belgium and not specifically dedicated to the 19 municipalities of Brussels.

First Evaluation: Demographics of Belgium


 * The immigration section of this article did not include much information, it was lacking content, and the sources were not sufficient.


 * There were couple of reliable citations and the links worked, although some were edited by wiki users.


 * In the talk page, many wikipedia users were confused by the author word choice. The author used words such as ethnic groups and this was not correct in the sense that Flemish and French speakers are not necessary from different ethnic groups, but in fact, language is the main demographic difference.

Second Evaluation: Immigration to Paris, France.


 * This article is very well written but there are some content gaps in the history section specifically from the period of 1974 to the present.
 * This article seems to be neutral.


 * The viewpoints of the immigrants in France is quite nonexistent. It would be great if some opinions and information about immigration to France was expressed by or used sources from those who are immigrants.


 * Not all of the links are working and some links have been editing to keep working.


 * Not all sources are high quality but many sources are high quality.


 * Yes. There are other high quality and more up-to-date resources available to enhance the creditability and professionalism of this article.


 * The sources I checked were backing up the statements made in the article. However, some sources were vague.


 * There are other sources that are more reliable and provide more up-to-date information, but this does not mean that the sources are in conflict with each other.


 * Much of the information is based on sources from France and not all sources are reliable. There are many things that need to be updated.


 * The majority of the talk conversations have to do with the editing of the article and pointing out mistakes that the author made. Also, some members edited the links or maintained them and provided feedback on how the author can improve the article from their point of view.
