Tone and Balance

• Are there any claims that appear heavily biased toward a particular position? The "Criticism of Alberta Public School Teachers" section is written as though teachers are spewing misleading information to students.

• Is all new content backed up by a reliable secondary source of information? Yes
• Are the sources thorough - i.e. Do they reflect the available literature on the topic? Yes

• Are the images laid out in a visually appealing way?

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?
• How exhaustive is the list of sources? Does it accurately represent all available literature on the subject?
• Does the article follow the patterns of other similar articles - i.e. contain any necessary infoboxes, section headings, and any other features contained within similar articles?
• Does the article link to other articles so it is more discoverable?

Overall impressions

Guiding questions:

• Has the content added improved the overall quality of the article - i.e. Is the article more complete? It could still use more relevant information regarding Harder's electoral campaign. However, what was added was strong information that was backed up by reliable primary sources.
• What are the strengths of the content added? Great sources used, the content does make it a bit more personal but that isn't necessarily a bad thing at all! It can be hard to find specific candidate information.
• How can the content added be improved? By adding more things that are relevant to Harder's political achievements, the bills she has worked on, the work she does in the community etc..

Overall evaluation 13/19

There could have. been a lot more information added that pertains to the election, especially when we've just had a federal one. Digging deeper and finding out more about Harder's political goals, her promises, the reform she wants to implement etc could have made this article much stronger than it already is. However, knowing the challenges of actually finding that kind of relevant information, there is something to be said for the great work that was done here. Adding in information on sensitive topics like Abortion is not an easy feat, what was added was relevant and up to date while backed with fantastic sources.
