Lead
[edit]Guiding questions:

- Does the Lead include an introductory sentence that concisely and clearly describes the article's topic?
- Does the Lead include a brief description of the article's major sections?
- Does the Lead include information that is not present in the article?
- Is the Lead concise or is it overly detailed?
Lead evaluation
[edit]N/A (No changes have been made the to lead. It's nice and concise, though, so it probably doesn't need any changes.)
Content
[edit]Guiding questions:
- Is the content added relevant to the topic?
- Is the content added up-to-date?
- Is there content that is missing or content that does not belong?
Content evaluation
[edit]I think the added content is very relevant, and though the added citations are from 2012, I would assume they reflect the most up-to-date sources for this information. In terms of content belonging, I do think that all the information is relevant, but some of the added information could be moved to earlier in the article to make it fit into the article a bit better (see Organization below).
Tone and Balance
[edit]Guiding questions:
- Is the content added neutral?
- Are there any claims that appear heavily biased toward a particular position?
- Are there viewpoints that are overrepresented, or underrepresented?
- Does the content added attempt to persuade the reader in favor of one position or away from another?
Tone and balance evaluation
[edit]I think the tone in the section you have added is balanced and neutral. Since it's biographical information, it doesn't appear as though you are over- or underrepresenting any viewpoints.
Sources and References
[edit]Guiding questions:
- Is all new content backed up by a reliable secondary source of information?
- Are the sources thorough - i.e. Do they reflect the available literature on the topic?
- Are the sources current?
- Check a few links. Do they work?
Sources and references evaluation
[edit]The new content is backed up by a reliable source, and the link works. I think it could be helpful to add a citation to the end of the sentence starting "As part of the Harriet Tubman Society..." I did notice that sources 15-17 seem to be the same source, so you might want to condense them into one citation.
Organization
[edit]Guiding questions:
- Is the content added well-written - i.e. Is it concise, clear, and easy to read?
- Does the content added have any grammatical or spelling errors?
- Is the content added well-organized - i.e. broken down into sections that reflect the major points of the topic?
Organization evaluation
[edit]I think the writing is clear, concise, and easy to read. In terms of organization, I think it could be helpful to move the information following "However, this was not her first introduction to activism or politics" into the paragraph before, so that it flows more chronologically and so that all the information about her time in Barbados and with her family is together.
Images and Media
[edit]Guiding questions: If your peer added images or media
- Does the article include images that enhance understanding of the topic?
- Are images well-captioned?
- Do all images adhere to Wikipedia's copyright regulations?
- Are the images laid out in a visually appealing way?
Images and media evaluation
[edit]N/A (no images added)
Overall impressions
[edit]Guiding questions:
- Has the content added improved the overall quality of the article - i.e. Is the article more complete?
- What are the strengths of the content added?
- How can the content added be improved?
Overall evaluation
[edit]Overall, I think the information you have added is interesting, relevant, and improves the quality and completeness of the article. The information about her early exposure to politics and her activism in college definitely help flesh out the picture of her early life. My one suggestion would be to reorganize the content slightly to be more chronological.
