Evaluation on Lillias Hamilton Everything in the article was relevant to the article topic. Nothing was really distracting. The article was also very neutral because it just told facts. There was no heavy bias toward a particular position. There were no viewpoints that were overrepresented or underrepresented. There was only one link, and it did work. Each fact was referenced with an appropriate, reliable reference, which were all neutral. The article is very brief about Lillias Hamilton, but it does not seem like there were things that were necessarily missing. This is not apart of any wikiprojects. The way Wikipedia discusses this topic is different from the way we’ve talked about it in class because Wikipedia just presents facts. It does not present any interpretation or connection between other aspects of the topic.
