Article Evaluation for John Barlow (priest) page:

There weren't any distractions or things that seemed unnecessary in the article.

There is no obvious bias or any claims in favor of a particular position.

There aren't any viewpoints that are under or over represented as basically all of the article is objective.

A problem with this article is that there is only one citation and when I tried to open the link it wouldn't pull the page up.

The majority of the references come from the Royal Institution, which may not be neutral since Barlow was an important member of the institution. The source seems to be from a physical collection/library so I can't access them to check for bias or reliability.

There doesn't seem to be any information out of date but there is no mention of the last 10 years of his life or his death so that section is definitely missing.

The talk section seems to be blank.

The article is rated as start class and falls under the scope of WikiProject Biography.

We haven't talked about Barlow in class as far as I am aware.

Early Life/Education
1.  Koenig had interest in both acoustics and music from a young age.

Later Work
1.  In the late 1800s Koenig found out that people were making cheap copies of his acoustical apparatus. He complained about these knock off instruments, stating that some even had his name on them despite the fact that he had nothing to do with their creation.

2.  Koenig showed exclusive dedication to his craft. He never married, and did all of his work from his apartment. His apartment had multiple rooms that served as laboratories or workshops for creating and adjusting his various instruments. He only employed a few individuals to help him; the majority of the work was done by Koenig himself.

General Biography
1. Koenig lived in an apartment on an island in the Seine River. It was specifically picked for its low noise level since he was working with acoustics.

2. The Smithsonian Institution has a collection of Koenig’s apparatus including some of his tuning forks. These were donated to the museum by the U.S. Military Academy. Another large amount of Koenig’s apparatuses is owned by the University of Toronto’s physics department.
