Angel Island (California) editing

I reviewed this article and will focus on the history section. I will review the citations and try to find reliable sources to cite the information given. I will also review the section on the immigration station.

source 1: https://www.parks.ca.gov/?page_id=1309

The construction of the immigration station began in 1905 but was not used until 1910. It became the first step into the United States

The purpose of the immigration station was to process Chinese who had been denied entry from the restrictions of the Chinese exclusion act of 1882

Chinese immigrants could be detained for two weeks to as long as two years

Investigation processes determined the length of time an immigrant would stay at the station.

immigration slowed and then fire in August 1940 incinerated the administration building. This forced the immigration station to close

add Ellis Island comparison?--(opinion-based?)

Source 2: http://www.angel-island.com/history.html

immigrants had to prove if they had husbands or fathers as US citizens in order not to be deported

men and women were separated while they stayed at the station

expressed fears and anger through poems??? (may not be able to add info like this?)

Nayland Blake editing

The article I assigned myself is on Nayland Blake. The page does not seem to have a lot of information so I plan to add more about his career. I will also try to find more information about his life, what influences him as an artist and how he has influenced others.

The article is missing more facts about his life, the first section of the page is lacking in more details about his life. I am going to try to fins more information and add onto it. I will also review the citations.

As I searched for information on Nayland Blake, I could see why his wikipedia page is so short. There is not a lot information about him immediately available. I will probably have to search for more interviews with him.

Article Evaluation

I decide to evaluate an article on Medicalization.

As I read this article I felt it was neutral. I went on the talk page and there were a lot of comments saying that the page was outdated and needed recent information. The last time it was edited was September 2017 so updates have been made. I think a lot of the resources are reliable since they mostly come from books.
