• Is everything in the article relevant to the article topic? Is there anything that distracted you?
  • Nothing distracted me in the Urbanization article it made sense why it was there and the purpose. The one thing that did distract me on the article I picked "History of the European Union" was at the bottom there's external links, and embedded in the link shows a picture of the years the treaty was signed. bright colors, and jagged lines, it looks confusing in general.
• Do there appear to be any content gaps in the article?
  • There was some content gaps in Urbanization, specifically the sections of History, Domintant Conurbation, Economic effect, Environment effects, Health and social effects. The sections i just listed had only a two paragraphs at the most; compared to the article that I picked "History of the European Union." since this article is so focused on one thing theres a lot of heavy content within this article.
• Is the article neutral? Are there any claims, or frames, that appear heavily biased toward a particular position?
  • Both articles were Neutral, there was no first person or third person speaking, and no sides were taken.
• Check a few citations. Do the links work? Does the source support the claims in the article?
  • Both articles provided a lot of different sources that all related to the article itself, all links work and supported the articles.
• Check out the Talk page of the article. What kinds of conversations, if any, are going on behind the scenes about how to represent this topic?
  • there was a lot of disagreement and long conversations to try to prove each of their own opinion and to back it up with several sources. For the Urbanization page a lot of users say that under certain sections it describes nothing or it didn't make sense or doesn't meet their expectations.
