Wikipedia Article Critique – Mexica

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

“Mexica”

I looked at the Mexica people of modern day Mexico, most commonly referred to as the Aztec Empire. The content on this page fits the article adequately, but there seems to be a lack of more prominent information. There are some distractions on the words that have links to them. Words such as Mexico, are linked more than once. The article is missing a lot of information and only has two photos, so it doesn’t have much to distract the reader. Because the article is about a people, I don’t believe there can be a noticeable bias in articles like these.

No viewpoints are overrepresented or underrepresented, there just isn’t enough content to determine that yet. The citations are not at all reliable. There is only one link that actually leads to another site, but when you get to that site it’s just a search engine. The other two sources are inadequately cited. Overall, these sources are not reliable at all.

Most of this information has been added on a course of three years but has yet to be significantly edited. This article has potential to be a growing article, but as of now it remains stub-like.The article is not rated or classified yet, it needs much more information and citations before it becomes a complete article. More or less this article covers the more basic generic information that we discussed in class. It talks about their origin and their location in that colonial era.
