I am doing my critique on elastic maps. There is a sufficient chunk of information about this topic. There is an ok use of references for a lot of the information. There are some parts of the article that are backed up with sufficient and reliable references. There are also some pieces of info that seem quite difficult to grasp and is a deep concept but there are no references for that. There is a lot of difficult language in this article that may make it difficult on newbies understand the concepts however there is good links to external articles that really do clarify what the article is saying. Everything in the article relates to the main topic and does a good job of breaking into subsections and giving descriptions of different aspects of the topic. There was one part of the article that didn’t really distract me but confused me. It was the Expectation maximization algorithm, for people who are not too great with math or formulas this could be difficult to understand. One great thing about the article was that it was entirely neutral, there was no bias in the writing, the article was entirely comprised of facts and information. The information comes from relatively neutral sources. The majority of sources come from scientific journals and such, and some sources are coming from informational lectures. I would say just by looking at the size of the article it is underrepresented, also considering how many edits have been made there should be a lot more info but there seems to be a lack of it. I checked most of the links and they seem to be working, there doesn’t look like there is plagiarism going on. The majority of information seems to be in date, it is just a lot of concepts and those tend to stay constant throughout time so I don’t think any of the information is out of date, also there have been a lot of edits to this article and several of them were within the past few months. As for anything that needs to be added I am not an expert on the topic so I don’t know if anything is missing or not so I cant really comment on to whether or not additions need to be made.
Questions:
1. Is there a way to add a for dummies article that people who don’t know much about this topic can read to understand? It is a difficult concept to understand and I think this would really help. 2. What types of careers and daily applications are elastic maps generally used in?

Hello, I'm Oshwah. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Feminist movement, but you didn't provide a source. I’ve removed it for now, but if you’d like to include a citation to a reliable source and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 23:40, 27 February 2017 (UTC)
