"Evaluating an Article" Assignment

I identified an article that has a content gap from one of the articles provided on wiki edu:

Buddhist symbolism

  1. Is everything in the article relevant to the article topic? Is there anything that distracted you?
After reading the entire article, I believe the article was on topic, but what distracted me was how this article keeps saying a lot of stuff (correct information) but no citations to back it up and in my head I was thinking someone without any knowledge of Buddhism wouldn't know if this article is credible.
  1. Is any information out of date? Is anything missing that could be added?
  2. What else could be improved?
  3. Is the article neutral? Are there any claims that appear heavily biased toward a particular position?
  4. Are there viewpoints that are overrepresented, or underrepresented?
  5. Check a few citations. Do the links work? Does the source support the claims in the article?
  6. 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?
  7. What kinds of conversations, if any, are going on behind the scenes about how to represent this topic?
  8. How is the article rated? Is it a part of any WikiProjects?
  9. How does the way Wikipedia discusses this topic differ from the way we've talked about it in class?
