Article Evaluation Section
I've chosen Maya_Astronomy

Is everything in the article relevant to the article topic? Is there anything that distracted you? Yes, it seems so. Lots of references for further reading.

Is the article neutral? Are there any claims, or frames, that appear heavily biased toward a particular position? It uses "most accurate" and compares to Ptolemy. That's making an argument.

Are there viewpoints that are overrepresented, or underrepresented? It's a short article, so...no?

Check a few citations. Do the links work? Does the source support the claims in the article? Yes. Is each fact referenced with an appropriate, reliable reference? Where does the information come from? Are these neutral sources? If biased, is that bias noted? Is any information out of date? Is anything missing that could be added? Not much has been changed since Dec 2014. And one citation is from 1990. It could and should def be updated. There IS a parallel page on Maya_civilization Check out the Talk page of the article. What kinds of conversations, if any, are going on behind the scenes about how to represent this topic? People want to delete it but I just added that they shouldn't. :)    How is the article rated? Is it a part of any WikiProjects? Wiki project Astronomy--stub, no importance Wiki project MesoAmerica--stub, high importance.    How does the way Wikipedia discusses this topic differ from the way we've talked about it in class? K8shep (talk) 17:41, 8 May 2017 (UTC)
