Evaluations of Child Protective Services Article

Is everything in the article relevant to the article topic? Is there anything that distracted you? -Everything is relevant to the articles title. I do feel that some of the information is bored and cold be more specific for the readers understanding

Is the article neutral? Are there any claims, or frames, that appear heavily biased toward a particular position? - No, the article is very Neutral and states facts of law

Are there viewpoints that are overrepresented, or underrepresented? - The viewpoint of things that are not right with the agency aren't present much

Check a few citations. Do the links work? Does the source support the claims in the article? - Yes. They all lead to other sites relations to the article

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? 

- Most of the information is tracked back to the agencies official pages or news articles that speak also on the agency

Is any information out of date? Is anything missing that could be added? - Some laws have been changed in certain states that aren't present in the article. More Laws could be added to the article

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? 

-Most of the conversations include agreement with the things stated in the article or people addressing the things that should be stated in the article

How is the article rated? Is it a part of any WikiProjects? - C-Class and yes it is.

How does the way Wikipedia discusses this topic differ from the way we've talked about it in class? -Its definitely more broad and goes in circles rather than dressing one specific point.

Wikipedia entry outline

The title of the Wikipedia article I will be contributing to is "children's rights"

The entry already contains information about the justifications of the current laws, the historic definition of children's rights, the classification of children's rights, the physical rights of children, and the parental powers given. 

I plan to add a new section covering the misconceptions of decisions of children about their rights. This will include points like how children know what goes on between their parents and what should be done to mediate the problem, how children shouldn't have to spend time with the other parent that shares custody/they should be able to decide where they stay and visit, etc.
