Article Evaluation: Refugees of the 2011 Libyan Civil War

edit


Review Checklist:

Is everything in the article relevant to the article topic? Is there anything that distracted you?
All information is relevant to the topic.
Is the article neutral? Are there any claims, or frames, that appear heavily biased toward a particular position?
The article is fairly neutral. The page describes the poor conditions faced by the refugees, however the author does so by referring to external sources. There is minimal bias toward a particular position.
Are there viewpoints that are overrepresented, or underrepresented?
The article showcases the perspectives of various news outlets. It could be useful to add information from an academic source that gives an overview of the integration of Libyan refugees in other nations (those who did not return after the war).
Check the citations. Do the links work? Does the source support the claims in the article?
The link to the UN Refugee agency has updated their information as of 2017, therefore the source no longer provides the numbers quoted in this article for 2013. However, all the links are functioning.
Is each fact supported by an appropriate, reliable reference? Where does the information come from? Are these neutral sources? If biased, is that bias noted?
Many of the citations refer to news media outlets, which may or may not be reliable sources of information. However, it is explicitly stated when information originates from a news reporter. Additional information from scholarly sources could improve the reliability of the wikipedia page.
Is any information out of date? Is anything missing that should be added?
The most recent source is from 2014. The "After 2011 War" section could be updated with newer information on current affairs in Libya. Some clarification could be used around the sentence "political opponents of the present forces in power in Libya," because to my knowledge, political power in the nation has evolved since this conflict.
How is the article rated? Is it a part of any WikiProjects?
The article is rated "Start-Class," as a part of WikiProjects "Africa/Libya" and "Politics". It is also rated C-Class for the "ArabWorld" Wikiproject and "low-importance" for all projects. More information should be added to this page.
