This is where you will complete your peer review exercise. Please use the following template to fill out your review.

General info

• Whose work are you reviewing? Zachcorliss
• Link to draft you're reviewing: Jarena Lee

Lead

Guiding questions:

• Has the Lead been updated to reflect the new content added by your peer?
• 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:

Yes, the Lead has been updated to reflect new content. The introductory sentence is good, although a little subjective in tone. The lead does include a brief description of the article's major sections, and all the information is relevant to the article.

Content

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?
• Does the article deal with one of Wikipedia's equity gaps? Does it address topics related to historically underrepresented populations or topics?

Content evaluation:

The content is relevant, up-to-date, and valid for the topic. It does deal with Wikipedia's equity gaps, and addresses the work of a historically underrepresented African American woman.

Tone and Balance

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:

The content is neutral. However the tone and vocabulary makes it seem less like an objective article and more like a personal essay. I would adjust the syntax before publishing to make it more academic.

Sources and References

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?
• Are the sources written by a diverse spectrum of authors? Do they include historically marginalized individuals where possible?
• Check a few links. Do they work?

Sources and references evaluation

The sources are good, thorough, relevant, and current. There are a wide variety of them and all of the links work.

Organization

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

The content could be a little more concise and academic. However, there are few grammatical errors and the content is well organized.

Images and Media

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:

There is one portrait of Jarena Lee and a panel of information about her from the National Park Service. The captions are good and clear. The image of the panel could be laid out a better because it seemed out of place.

For New Articles Only

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?

Overall impressions

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:

I did not know anything about Jarena Lee before reading this article, and I feel like I now have a much better understanding of her as a preacher and activist. The information you offered is informative, interesting, and compelling to read about. My only criticism is that the tone of the article comes across as more informal and less academic. It is also a little confusing in parts, like the "Early Life" section. Overall, you have added a lot to this article and have done a good job!
