Article evaluation

Article I chose

"Liancourt Rocks"

Is everything in the article relevant to the article topic? Is there anything that distracted you?

Yes, everything in the article is relevant to its topic, and nothing distracted me.

Is the article neutral? Are there any claims, or frames, that appear heavily biased toward a particular position? Are there viewpoints that are overrepresented, or underrepresented? 

It is neutral. Both Japanese and Korean names of the islets are redirected to this article, which implies it respect both of them. Also, when someone initiated discussion about changing the title of the article, contributors agreed to keep the neutral name. Even in Japanese version, editors were against a modification solely based on the claim made by the Japanese government.

Some of the links are broken, especially ones to the Korean government websites.

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?

The section about the territorial conflict between Japan and South Korea does not use proper citations.

The article uses a lot of Korean sources and some non-Asian ones but few Japanese ones. Most non-Asian sources look neutral. The sources published by the Japanese government are biased because they makes the claim that Takeshima (Japanese name for Liancourt Rocks) is under Japanese sovereignty, but the editors do not use them in the section that has controversy. I cannot judge articles written in Korean.

Is any information out of date? Is anything missing that could be added?

Information about climate and ecology is out of date because it comes from sources made more than ten years ago. The section about the history can be added because the Japanese version has more useful sources and information. There is another article about the territorial conflict between Japan and Korea, and it covers history of the rocks.

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?

As I mentioned in the third answer, the contributors talked about the name of the article. A Korean person claimed that the article should be named Dokdo (Korean name for Liancourt Rocks) because Korea has stronger evidence. However, others evaluated the evidence provided by that person and concluded it was biased. Finally, they reached an agreement to use Liancourt Rocks as the title of the article.

How is the article rated? Is it a part of any WikiProjects?

How does the way Wikipedia discusses this topic differ from the way we've talked about it in class (if we have)? What is your overall impression of the article?

While students may express mere opinions based on their feelings, Wikipedia tries to be objective by using only facts confirmed by reliable sources; most of the statements are supported by outside sources. I felt Wikipedia is also different from research papers I have written in college because it does not intend to make any claims though I have been taught research papers must be argumentative. I think those characteristics makes Wikipedia a fact-based website.
