My answers

Director of the United States Census Bureau

• Is everything in the article relevant to the article topic? Is there anything that distracted you?
  • Everything was relevent to the topic, but the organization of the "Chronology of the Directors" was atrocious
• Is the article neutral? Are there any claims, or frames, that appear heavily biased toward a particular position?
  • Very neutral, almost clinic, showing no changes made to the census or any actions of note made by any directors...
• Are there viewpoints that are over represented, or underrepresented?
  • There are no viewpoints at all I can see, I feel that one should be added as to the power the position holds, and there fore its importance.
• Check a few citations. Do the links work? Does the source support the claims in the article?
  • The links are only to the Census bureau website under its "History and biographies of former directors"
• 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?
  • The sources are relevant, but only primary.
• Is any information out of date? Is anything missing that could be added?
  • Many things can be added, and its as up to date as the Census bureau's own website... It needs a bunch in my humble opinion...
• 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?
  • None are going on... Empty as can be
• How is the article rated? Is it a part of any WikiProjects?
  • No rating I can find, the Talk page has only a few one line changes in its 9 years of existance
• How does the way Wikipedia discusses this topic differ from the way we've talked about it in class?
  • Not to say that you have shared a political opinion of the article, but political Fact. This seat has many far reaching implications that are not mentioned. As far as this article says, it could be a once a year job and the director may as well also work at burger king part time because they are not giving him enough hours.
  • ADD MORE OF ANYTHING AS TO WHY THE DIRECTOR MATTERS, WHAT DO THEY DO?
