Rating (from 0-10, 10 being the highest, and 6 being just sufficient) 1. Relevance: 8/10: Yi-Fu Tuan is an important figure in the human geography and thereby highly relevant for this course. Yi-Fu Tuan redefined understandings of human geography and give a new look to the concept of place, by linking it to experience. With his work Tuan was one of the pioneers of the 'new' humanistic geography. 2. Well-written: 8/10: The page is well-written, the writers have used correct English and a professional standard. There is some short background information about Yi-Fu Tuan and thereafter the focus is on his ideas and contributions, through which no major facts are neglected and the subject is placed in the context. 3. well-researched: 8/10: The page is well-researched, the contributors used different scientific well-written references for the text. Besides they used the APA guidelines correctly in the text to relate certain parts to the source. 4. Broad in its coverage: 7/10:The page addresses the main aspects of the topic. There is attention for the main aspects (that are also relevant for this course) such as: background information, important contributions, his approach, important works and the critique on his work. Besides it stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail. 5. Neutral: 9/10: The text is written neutral. There is no criticizing performed by the authors. 6. Stable: 7/10: The page is pretty stable, the page is over time enhanced by three people, who did not change the page significantly. 7. Well-structured: 7/10: The page is well structured. There are clear sections of the different topics in the text. There is only missing a link to the page of place (and space) on the wiki. 8. Illustrated: 9/10: The only relevant picture for this page could be a picture of Yi-Fu Tuan himself and that picture is in the page. 9. Length: 6-7/10: The length of the page is okay, through keeping the text summarily it becomes interesting to read, but the part of the contributions and approach of Yi-Fu Tuan could maybe more extensive, with more explaining of his contributions, to for example the concept of place and space, the page would improve. ---- Page evaluated by Lars Paardekooper 23 October 2012
