Rating (from 0-10, 10 being the highest, and 6 being just sufficient) 1. Relevance: It is relevant for this course. Rating: 7 Comments: Character is used by Durheim, a key thinker in this course.

2. Well-written: a) well-written: its prose is engaging, even brilliant, and of a professional standard; the prose is clear and concise, and the spelling and grammar are correct; Rating: 8 Comments: The page is written in well english. b) comprehensive: it neglects no major facts or details and places the subject in context. Rating: 8 Comments: Although character can have a broad meaning, in this page the character is part of what Durkheim understands as character. That is the major fact.

3. well-researched: Factually accurate and verifiable: a) it provides references to all sources of information following the APA guidelines; Rating: 8 Comments: The APA guidlines are youst in correct order. b) it provides in-line citations (including page numbers) from reliable sources for direct quotations, statistics, published opinion, counter-intuitive or controversial statements that are challenged or likely to be challenged, and contentious material relating to living persons—science-based articles should follow the APA guidelines. Rating: 7 Comments: Only page numbers are missing.

4. Broad in its coverage: a) it addresses the main aspects of the topic; Rating: 7 Comments: It is not broad in its coverage, but straight to the point. Because this page is only about ‘character’, it doesn’t need a broader coverage though. b) it stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail. Rating: 8 Comments: Stays focused on the topic, as mentioned in 4a.

5. Neutral: it represents viewpoints fairly and without bias, giving due weight to each. Rating: 8 Comments: It represents only one viewpoint. That viewpoint is of Durkheim.

6. Stable: it does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute. Rating: 10 Comments: Very stable, one contributor, one change.

7. Well-structured: a) a lead: a concise lead section that summarizes the topic and prepares the reader for the detail in the subsequent sections; Rating: 5 Comments: there is no section that summarizes the topic and prepares the reader for the details in the section. But due to the fact it is a small page, maybe the summary isn’t necessary. b) appropriate structure: a system of hierarchical section headings and a substantial but not overwhelming table of contents. Rating: 6 Comments: first section is about what the character is, the second is an example of durheims character in crime. This is just being sufficient. c) categories: is the entry categorized in a correct way? (Which categories are missing?) Rating: n/a Comments: no category

8. Illustrated: if possible, by images, maps, schematic overviews: a) images are tagged with their copyright status, and valid fair use rationales are provided for non-free content; Rating: n/a Comments: no images b) images are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions. Rating: n/a Comments: no images

9. Length: It stays focused on the main topic without going into unnecessary detail and uses summary style. Rating: 6 Comments: short lenght, thouch just sufficient.
