Article Evaluation

March For Our Lives (also known as MFOL) started after the Stoneman Douglas High School shooting back in February of 2018. The march specifically took place on March 24, 2018, led by students around the world pushing for gun-reform legislation.

• I believe that the ordering of all the information was well put together. This article begins with the planning of the event (referencing the weeks that transpired after the shooting and how the teens at Stoneman Douglas responded). In addition, this section mentions the celebrity support that was behind the event. Then, it references the participation and responses from both supporters and the opposition. One of the tools that were essential to this movement was social media. This is referenced on the Wikipedia page. The last section is Locations. In my opinion, this section was extremely confusing due to the wide range of one sentence information, as well as the wide range of work cited information.
• The entirety of the article provides developed information on what the MFOL stands for. In the response section, there is reference to the NRA, politicians, and media. In my opinion, although I would not define this article as biased, I believe that there should be more information in the NRA and politician section that is equivalent to the facts provided for the information about the MFOL. Furthermore, I think there should be a section in the responses about what the advocates for gun reform think.
• Therefore, I believe that the NRA and politician section in responses is underrepresented.
• This article is linked to over 370+ links and the ones I checked works well.
• The facts referenced are appropriate and range from a variety of news sources including ABC, NBC, and other local news sources. The information is not out of date as it is mostly from 2018.
• When looking at the Talk page of the article, the majority of the conversations are based on the article structure. For example, one of the diagrams in the Talk page is a map that shows where MFOL movements are occurring.
