[edit]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diana_Taurasi

Is each fact referenced with an appropriate, reliable reference? Yes every fact in the article was appropriate with a reliable reference, as there were 43 of them. It seemed as if almost everything entered into the article was cited and cited with reliable references..

Is everything in the article relevant to the article topic? Is there anything that distracted you? Yes, everything in this article was about Diana's basketball career, whether it was her early childhood playing to her playing in the WNBA and even professional basketball internationally. The only thing that was not really relevant was her personal life heading, but that is to be expected on Wikipedia.

Is the article neutral? Are there any claims, or frames, that appear heavily biased toward a particular position? I believe that the article appears to be neutral, I did not notice any particular biased positions. Where does the information come from? Are these neutral sources? If biased, is that biased noted? These articles come from big time names, ESPN, New York Times, CNN, etc. I would say all of these references are neutral sources.

Are there viewpoints that are overrepresented, or underrepresented? I felt as if the viewpoints were underrepresented as they could have gone into much more depth on her career. I felt as if this was just a brief summary of her career.

Check a few citations. Do the links work? Is there any close paraphrasing or plagiarism in the article? I liked the links that were provided because it included many of her teams that she played on and the history about the team. For example, it included a team from Russia who I had never heard of before and it gave me a lot of interesting information. I didn't notice any close paraphrasing nor plagiarism in the article.

Is any information out of date? Is anything missing that could be added? The information appears to be up to date as she just signed with an international team this year (2015) and left the WNBA to make more money. I am sort of interested in how she is doing overseas right now in her season.
