Lead

Guiding questions:

• Has the Lead been updated to reflect the new content added by your peer?
  • N/A (this is a new article)
• Does the Lead include an introductory sentence that concisely and clearly describes the article's topic?
  • Yes
• Does the Lead include a brief description of the article's major sections?
  • Mostly - maybe worth mentioning Chief Thunderwater
• Does the Lead include information that is not present in the article?
  • No
• Is the Lead concise or is it overly detailed?
  • Concise and well-written

Lead evaluation

Strong lead section that properly encapsulates the article's big ideas. Everything included is elaborated upon later in the article. More detail could be added to give a more extensive overview of what is to come in the article.

Content

Guiding questions:

• Is the content added relevant to the topic?
  • Yes
• Is the content added up-to-date?
  • Yes - especially the mention of recent protests / movements
• Is there content that is missing or content that does not belong?
  • No - this is a vague topic with lots of information that could technically belong. However, it may be worthwhile to include more information on the displacement of Native peoples by settlers.
• Does the article deal with one of Wikipedia's equity gaps? Does it address topics related to historically underrepresented populations or topics?
  • Yes - deals with historically marginalized and underrepresented peoples

Content evaluation

All content seems to be relevant to the subject which helps seal an evident equity gap. In order to fully illustrate the poor and unjust treatment of colonizers towards Native peoples, I would advise to include more facts / details pertaining to displacement efforts.

Tone and Balance

Guiding questions:

• Is the content added neutral?
  • Yes - only fact-based
• Are there any claims that appear heavily biased toward a particular position?
  • No
• Are there viewpoints that are overrepresented, or underrepresented?
  • No
• Does the content added attempt to persuade the reader in favor of one position or away from another?
  • No - however, the fact-based content implicitly creates an emotional draw in favor of Native populations

Tone and balance evaluation

The article is neutral and fact-based and does not appear to be politically driven by any means.

Sources and References

Guiding questions:

• Is all new content backed up by a reliable secondary source of information?
  • Yes
• Are the sources thorough - i.e. Do they reflect the available literature on the topic?
  • Yes - a wide range of credible sources are used
• Are the sources current?
  • Some of very recent while others are older, but no sources appeared to be outdated
• Are the sources written by a diverse spectrum of authors? Do they include historically marginalized individuals where possible?
  • Yes - diverse array of authors AND authors from marginalized communities
• Check a few links. Do they work?
  • Yes

Sources and references evaluation

Sources used appropriately and cover a fair bit of available literature. More sources will be needed if the article is expanded.

  • Yes - consistent tone and easy to read
• Does the content added have any grammatical or spelling errors?
  • Yes...
    • Improper capitalization in section titles, per Wikipedia guidelines
    • Under Name Change, bullet point 5, after "b)"
    • Under Local Schools section --> "Oberlin High Schoo"

For New Articles Only

If the draft you're reviewing is a new article, consider the following in addition to the above.

• Does the article meet Wikipedia's Notability requirements - i.e. Is the article supported by 2-3 reliable secondary sources independent of the subject?
  • Yes - several reliable secondary sources used
• How exhaustive is the list of sources? Does it accurately represent all available literature on the subject?
  • List covers a wide range of literature and accurately represents what is available - however, this topic is very broad and thus there is much more available literature that could be brought in (depending on what else is discussed)
• Does the article follow the patterns of other similar articles - i.e. contain any necessary infoboxes, section headings, and any other features contained within similar articles?
  • Yes
• Does the article link to other articles so it is more discoverable?
  • Yes - several links throughout the article

New Article Evaluation

The article fits an information gap and properly adhered to Wikipedia's guidelines. A good list of literature is used, however, more could be brought in as this is a broad topic.

  • N/A (this is a new article)

Strong article on an important topic. Easy to read to very comprehensive. More detail could be included on historical context and unjust treatment that could lead into why activism emerged so prominently. More literature should be brought in depending on what is being discussed. Overall, good work so far!
