Alright, I am evaluating the Old English Wikipedia page. It is a very extensive article and, I thought, very well balanced. There seemed to be a lot of time dedicated to all relevant points brought up. I didn't see any particular biases present in the article, it seemed very neutral to me. Interestingly, nearly all of the sources listed were print books rather than websites, so I wasn't really able to check up on the quality over-much. I did click a few of the links I could find in the sources section, two went to archive versions of print books, and the other was a dead youtube link. They may want to go through and check links like that to prune or update links that are no longer useful. The citations in-text are pretty prevalent and varied (though without access to the books, I can not speak to their neutrality, however, they do seem pretty reliable based on titles and publishers), however I noticed the grammar and literature sections are a little lean on in-text citations and could be improved, and there was at least one citation needed edit within the article. As far as the Talk page goes, almost all the conversations there appeared to be along the lines of fact-checking and questioning which sources were relevant. This article is a delisted good article, having lost it's good article status in 2007, which seems to imply that some recent changes have not been of similar quality or that it has fallen out of date. It is of interest to many wikiprojects, including languages, middle ages, England, Anglo-Saxon Kingdoms, and English language and is rated between mid to top importance in all categories. So it is clearly a high priority article. Nsowers (talk) 23:05, 25 February 2018 (UTC)
