Article Evaluation
editThis article briefly discusses the House of Burgundy; discussing The Portuguese Branch, Genealogy, and the House of Burgundy’s Arms. The article is short is content, and only discusses a small section of information related to the House of Burgundy. The article does do a good job of listing the lineage that made up this house, and providing links to Wikipedia pages discussing notable members of the House of Burgundy. The article is neutral and does not contain any viewpoints, biases, or claims that lean any discernable position. The page could definitely be improved with the addition of information, such as: the territory/wealth owned by the House of Burgundy, significant accomplishments notable to its lineage, the house’s reputation, and the elaboration on certain topics (ie, how the death of one member in the line caused the end of the dynasty).
Unfortunately, the page on detailing the House of Burgundy does not list or cite any sources for any material listed on the page. The pictures included under the “Arms” tab are also not credited to any source. This page is part of the WikiProject Portugal, and is rated as “Stub-Class” quality on the Talk page. Wikipedia discusses the House of Burgundy only in terms of its existence and members which differs from its history as we’ve learned in class. This HST 100 class does not mention a dynasty, society, or civilization unless it also discusses the impact of that group in history.
