Census Article

edit

• Is everything in the article relevant to the article topic? Is there anything that distracted - I thought everything was relevant to the article topic, it contains everything that is related to the US Census Bureau in details. However, the links that are within the article can be a distraction. • Is the article neutral? Are there any claims, or frames, that appear heavily biased toward a particular position? - The article claims that’s census runs the risk of being politicalized. Which means that the article might be biased. • Are there viewpoints that are overrepresented, or underrepresented? - The uses of data is underrepresented, it only displays couple of points in bullet points; whereas the legal mandate was very overrepresented. • Check a few citations. Do the links work? Does the source support the claims in the article? - I have checked a few citations and the links are working. Some of the sources don’t support the claims in the article. Some of them are about how the census is a trouble and others are about citizenship and race, which are different from what the article is about. There is also a section in the article “ongoing survey” where it says that it needs additional citations. • Is each fact referenced with an appropriate, reliable reference? Where does the information come from? Are these neutral sources? If biased, is that bias noted? - They are all referenced with an appropriate reference. They mostly come from academic articles and trusted websites. Some of the sources are biased, either about politics, or arguing how census is not a good source to use. • Is any information out of date? Is anything missing that could be added? - Some of the sources are out of date and need volume. • Check out the Talk page of the article. What kinds of conversations, if any, are going on behind the scenes about how to represent this topic? - There are many conversation are not relevant to the topic and some of them are more biased towards politics and others ask questions about the citations and others just say their opinions.

No need to restate the questions - but overall, nice work with the evaluation. Professor Hammad — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ehammadmrig (talkcontribs) 17:19, 13 March 2018 (UTC)Reply

Demographics of the United Arab Emirates

edit

I will add more information about the demographics of the United Arab Emirates, including progress in female education and employment, the future demographic and demography and population dynamics. I will also post the population pyramid and explain it using these sources. These additions will enhance the article, but what about the sources? I don't see a list? - Prof. H

Hello! I read the article and it was really good in terms of clear structure, neutral content, and reliable sources. The only issue is, I don't know exactly which parts you wrote so I can exactly critique you on them? One thing that I would personally improve though on is putting CIA World Factbook demographic statistics in a table that way it'll be easier to read and navigate. I can see you used some sources from our library, the Auraria Library, which is good because it ensures that it's scholarly material. One thing I found odd was that there was a population pyramid mentioned in the table of contents but no actual population pyramid in the article. If you're responsible for that, make sure to fix it. Sorry I can't give you more specific critiques, I'm just not sure what you did and it wasn't included in your sandbox. Overall, it's a really good article, I would just change a bit of the organization by adding things like tables and stuff to make it easier to read. Good luck! -Mariam

I noticed that the article didn't have a population pyramid even though it was in the table of content. I tried to add it, but couldn't upload and post the graph into the article. However, I posted the link on the talk page to see if someone can help me with it or if I can just post the link into the article. The part that I added was the Education and Employment, and "females citizens and noncitizens make up only 30 percent of the UAE'S population due to the high level of male foreign workers[4]. The biggest city in UAE is Dubai and remain so in 2030. Also, all of the cities in the UAE will increase in size from now to 2030. However, Abu Dhabi will grow the fastest. [5] World Urbanization Prospects announced that the UAE’s population went from 54.4 percent to 84.4 percent between 1950 and 2010. The rate for the urbanization went up to 2.9 percent in that time period, this is one of the highest rates in the world" in the population section.
