• Is everything in the article relevant to the article topic? Is there anything that distracted you? Everything in the article is relevant to the article over Strategic communication. Nothing distracted me except the definition being very extensive.

• Is the article neutral? Are there any claims, or frames, that appear heavily biased toward a particular position? The article is neutral and gives many meanings and examples on Strategic communication.

• Are there viewpoints that are overrepresented, or underrepresented? The article gave the idea and framework on the proper steps when using Strategic communication however, the military was used as the main example rather than using multiple ideas and topics.

• Check a few citations. Do the links work? Does the source support the claims in the article? The links work and the sources support the claims in the article however, one of the links included in the article titled "Media manipulation" is unclear because it has insufficient citations within itself.

• 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? Each fact is not referenced with a source and one of the sources is insufficient. The article needs more citations throughout. The information comes from Wikipedia and the other references throughout are reliable and neutral about the topic.

• Is any information out of date? Is anything missing that could be added? The article is out of date and could be reviewed to see if any data should be updated to 2018 standards. More examples about Strategic planning could be added to the article.

There are three conversations going on behind the scenes of editing information, what steps need to be taken to make it more sufficient and wiki editors talking about who is willing to take on the editing.

• How is the article rated? Is it a part of any WikiProjects? The article is rated Mid-High importance in WikiProjects with needing updating and clarification in multiple areas.

• How does the way Wikipedia discusses this topic differ from the way we've talked about it in class? Wikipedia explains it in a more formal way thats harder to understand rather than keeping the definitions short and easy for the audience to understand. Including examples and external links for more reference would help explain Strategic communication
