Article Evaluation

Everything in this article seems to relate to the topic fairly well. This article describes the testing of cosmetics on animals in depth and provides history and cites credible sources. Also, the article makes sure to provide history and methods, along with a very detailed definition of the actual cosmetic testing on the animals. This article is not biased. It provides an accurate description to the topic and a clear definition. In addition, the article provides a non biased "argument" from both sides. The only thing that is in this article that appears to be over presented, is the fact that it is harmful to animals. Instead of stating that over and over again I feel as though the article could elaborate a little bit more about how they test on the animals. With this, the article does accurately represent the topic really well though. The sources accurately represent the topic. When clicking upon the link, you can clearly find the evidence and where the viewpoint comes from. The links do work and the sources are cited well and correctly. The facts all have reliable references, and the sources are accurate in terms of evidence. Some of the sources are biased towards a certain belief, however they are recognized and turned un-biased once they're put into the article. The information is rather relevant since cosmetic animal testing is a current ongoing issue. The sources are all from the past 20 years and if they're older, they are only to provide the history on the issue. The conversations going on in the talk portal are about animal abuse and how animals need to stop being mistreated. Also, the talk page talks about how this topic is really controversial since there's many different viewpoints. This article is rated really well since its a well-rounded article that acknowledges both sides and accurately represents the topic. The way that Wikipedia discusses the topic is different than how we discuss the topic because the Wiki things discuss the topic are more in detail whereas we discuss the overall premises on each topic.
