1) Did your partner follow the format guidelines for a Wikipedia article (contains a lead and a reference list, the right things are bolded, section headings are correct, etc.)? If not, what needs to be altered to make it look like a Wikipedia article? It needs to be fully moved to wikipedia but once that takes place yes.
2) Is the article well-written? (“its prose is engaging, even brilliant, and of a professional standard”) Select one sentence that you consider to be well-written. Also select at least one sentence where the writing could be clarified or polished up to make the article more interesting and informative.
Well-written:In September 1933, 152 students began the school year in a newly constructed building on a 7.5-acre (30,000 m2) tract which is the present site of Breckinridge Middle School in Roanoke.
Needs work:The name selected for the high school derived from a Scottish immigrant by the name of William Fleming, who was also a prominent physician and statesmen in Virginia. Originally a native of West Virginia, Fleming migrated into Virginian borders and settled in Norfolk in 1755.
3) Is the article comprehensive? (“it neglects no major facts or details and places the subject in context”) List one section of the article you find to be very comprehensive. Also list one section of the article that needs to be expanded or contextualized better to make the article more complete and persuasive.
Comprehensive:the entire article is very comprehensive
Needs work:
4) Is the article well-researched? (“it is a thorough and representative survey of the relevant literature”) If the sources listed are from websites, follow the links. List each website and include whether you find it to be credible or not.
Websites:all sources are from roanoke.com (Roanoke times) this seems to be a reputable source, it is a news paper. It could be slightly biased but the information used from it seems factual and not opinionated so I wouldn't be concerned about it.
5) Is the article neutral? (“it presents views fairly and without bias”) Does it fulfill the Wikipedia ideal of Neutral Point of View (NPOV)? Include any sentences that appear to be biased.
Biased sentences:The publicity section might be able to be made more neutral. Referring to certain publicity as positive or negative seems baised.
6) Is the article of the correct length? (“It stays focused on the main topic without going into unnecessary detail”) Does it meet the minimum length requirement for the class of 2 pages of text double spaced? yes
