  • Is the content added up-to-date?
    • Yes, it is relevant to this year
  • Is there content that is missing or content that does not belong?

  • Does the article deal with one of Wikipedia's equity gaps? Does it address topics related to historically underrepresented populations or topics?

For New Articles Only

If the draft you're reviewing is a new article, consider the following in addition to the above.

  • Does the article meet Wikipedia's Notability requirements - i.e. Is the article supported by 2-3 reliable secondary sources independent of the subject?
    • There could be more sources for sections, such as BLM, but each source seems reliable
  • How exhaustive is the list of sources? Does it accurately represent all available literature on the subject?
    • As mentioned above, seems great but could use more black perspective

    • Yes
  • Does the article link to other articles so it is more discoverable?
    • No, it should! Especially to help with BLM section
