Everything in your article seems very relevant. I would say it is safe to even elaborate just a little more sometimes.

Additionally, nothing seems outright bias. The only thing that may seem a little bias is Utah is presented in a very good light. I might make it more backed up by facts rather than just stated. The sentence " that weren't seen elsewhere in the country" seems extreme unless the source backs up that claim. (and is an unbiased source)

I would say you can elaborate more, at least a little bit, on the perspectives of the individual groups in the prison camps. If there is any testimonials, a short quote from one may be beneficial? You are doing a great job, but for a prison camp the most sought after opinions are often those of the prisoners.

All of the links worked for your sources and the sources all looked reliable. And, they were all related. One of the sources was a newspaper article and could be bias so that may need to be mentioned. Other than that everything was great!

Overall, a great draft and a great article!

I put your article headings below because you had multiple questions phrased in your draft, some of which seemed to be directed to a peer reviewer. If you didn't intend them for a peer reviewer, feel free to ignore what is below.

WWII Prisoner of War Camps in Utah

Perhaps you should very briefly also mention the conditions of Utahn camps (good treatment and following Geneva Conventions). This is one of your biggest section and is not mentioned in the intro.

List of Camps

The map with locations... would this be considered something you made? If so, I don't know if it's something you can add to your wikipedia page because it is self-made and not published. I would maybe check on the learning modules if this is ok and if it's not clear ask through the talk page or ask the mentors for the wikipedia page. Your second source has a map on it, but I don't know if it's under copyright.

Camp Salina massacre

I don't know if this needs it's own section, but I think it would be better not under the list of camps and perhaps under the headings of "Conditions" or "Attitudes and Morale"

Attitudes and Morale

Community Response

I think it would be beneficial to note the Japanese, Native American and African American Treatment. You specifically mentioned Italian and German relations, so I do not think it would diverge to much from the topic to talk about these groups specifically. I don't know if you want to have more than a sentence or two about each group because your previous groups are mentioned (Italian and German) in one or two sentences. However, if this is something that has a lot of research and substantial evidence I would even consider making it a separate heading if it continues to pertain to the treatment in the war camps.

After the War

If these museums have wikipedia pages already, I would suggest a list and link to their pages. However, if they don't have previous pages, I might recommend a list with maybe a short one sentence explanation (max 2 if one is especially significant). This could be something like, "The SpongeBob Museum was founded on the 30th of February and was previously this camp which had Japanese prisoners" (i.e. I don't know if different ethnicities were put in entirely different camps? if so, this may need to be mentioned...)
