General info

[edit]
  • Whose work are you reviewing? Aarukrish
  • Link to draft you're reviewing: Phoebe Couzins (I cannot access the draft, so I will peer review the article itself if that's okay!)

  • Has the Lead been updated to reflect the new content added by your peer?
    • N/A

Lead evaluation

[edit]

I think the Lead is concise and well-written. I don't know much about Phoebe Couzins, but given that she was a suffrage activist, the Lead could perhaps include the fact that she was a suffragist.

Content

[edit]

Guiding questions:

  • Is the content added relevant to the topic?
    • I believe so.
  • Is the content added up-to-date?
    • I believe so.
  • Is there content that is missing or content that does not belong?
    • Suffrage activism can be added, of course!
  • Does the article deal with one of Wikipedia's equity gaps? Does it address topics related to historically underrepresented populations or topics?
    • Yes, because the article details women's history.

Content evaluation

[edit]

So far, the content is detailed, but I definitely think there is plenty of room to discuss suffrage activism.

Guiding questions:

  • Is the content added neutral?
    • Yes.
  • Are there any claims that appear heavily biased toward a particular position?
    • No.

    • No.
  • Does the content added attempt to persuade the reader in favor of one position or away from another?
    • No.

Tone and balance evaluation

[edit]

The article seems balanced and does not persuade the reader in any particular direction.

Guiding questions:

  • Is all new content backed up by a reliable secondary source of information?
    • N/A (I'm not sure which information is new)
  • Are the sources thorough - i.e. Do they reflect the available literature on the topic?
    • I believe so.
  • Are the sources current?
    • For the most part, yes! Some sources are from the 1980s and 1990s, but I saw plenty of current sources. I was super excited to see a Newspapers.com article accessed in 2020!
  • Are the sources written by a diverse spectrum of authors? Do they include historically marginalized individuals where possible?
    • I'm not entirely sure.
  • Check a few links. Do they work?
    • Yes.

The sources are varied, which is great! They all seem reliable, and many are current. The links also seem to work.

Organization evaluation

[edit]

The writing is very good, and contains no grammatical or spelling errors. The content is also well-organized, and I think the content could maybe be broken down even further.

For New Articles Only

[edit]

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?
  • How exhaustive is the list of sources? Does it accurately represent all available literature on the subject?
  • 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?
  • Does the article link to other articles so it is more discoverable?

New Article Evaluation

[edit]

Overall impressions

[edit]

Guiding questions:

  • Has the content added improved the overall quality of the article - i.e. Is the article more complete?
    • I'm not sure which content you added, Aarushi, but I think the article is in great shape so far!
  • What are the strengths of the content added?
    • The content contains various facets of Couzins's life, and I like how the article details how Couzins was a lawyer, and then became a suffragist. I think this is an interesting transition that would be interesting to learn more about!
  • How can the content added be improved?
    • Perhaps you could include a separate section detailing her suffrage activism, if you are interested in doing so? Just a random suggestion! :)

Overall evaluation

[edit]

So far, I think this article has great information. There are also plenty of opportunities to expand upon ideas and greater detail Couzins's involvement in the Suffrage Movement. I can't wait to see what else you can find out about Phoebe Couzins!
