Article Evaluation
The article that discusses the Medical Genetics of Jews was very interesting. The topics that were discussed were related to the topic. Those topics being, what are the different classifications of Jews, what diseases are these groups more prone to, how are they tested, and who tests them I thought did answer the questions I would want to receive from the article. I do believe that there could have been more discussed on how the testing is done rather than the listing of the diseases. Most of the dates that are referred to mention the 1970s which are out of date. I believe that there should have been mention of current research that is being done if any. I left the reading wondering what was happening today in relation to this topic. Another improvement that I would recommend would be to add more information about what constitutes a person as Jewish? Are they only referring to people that have a direct link to their heritage?

I do not believe that is article is extremely biased. I find that the article is in support of specific genetic testing on Jewish people, but there is no point in which it overpowers the information being given out. I do think, however, that the viewpoint of those that are against specific genetic testing of the Jewish people are not represented in the article.

After clicking on some of the links, I found that some do not exist. The ones that did come up were outdated sources but did relate back to the topic of the article. Most facts in the article to have citations connected to them, however, there are some that do not have sources backing up the claims. Most of the information comes from other articles. A majority of the sources seem to follow the pro-genetic bias that the article I read also follows.

The article is a part of three Wikiprojects: Judaism, Genetics, and Medicine/Medical Genetics. There was not a lot of discussion in the talk section. There was a little talk about how some of the information may not have been accurate.

Article Selection
History of the Jews in Africa The information that was in the article was relevant to the topic, but most of what was discussed was the history from 1492 on and not about events that affected this topic before. There was not any bias that I could detect. The information in the article was cited. The cites that I tried to view would not allow access and from this, I do not think that the references were reliable. I find that there could have been more sources from books rather than websites and news articles. This topic is also very vague and could use more sub-topics.

North African Sephardim The information provided in the article did follow the course of the title. There was a good explanation as to what Sephardim meant and how it came to be in Northern Africa. The references were very sparse. There were no links to the sources which made it difficult to look back on. The article did not seem to have any bias, it primarily focused on listing facts about the topic. I think there could be more information on this page, especially on the culture difference between Sephardic Jews and Ashkenazi Jews. I also think there should be information on the Sephardic Jews today and whether or not the culture still exists in Northern Africa.

“Maghrebi Jews” Most of the information listed in the article is not cited. The information is written neutrally and most of the facts were merely listed without any bias. The references were lacking as there was only one reference mentioned in the article. There was some discussion on the “talk” page that refuted some of the claims that were made in the article. I definitely think there could have been more information added to this article. I also think that there is more information about this topic that could be added to the page based on google searches that I did.
