Article Selection
Please list articles that you're considering for your Wikipedia assignment below. Begin to critique these articles and find relevant sources.

Option 1

 * Article title: Health advocacy
 * Article Evaluation
 * The article is relevant and written neutrally. The article is well cited throughout.
 * There was discussion on the Talk Page about whether the health advocacy and patient advocacy pages should be combined or separated. There is indeed overlap in the fields and the health advocacy page does dedicate a section to highlight both topics interactions as well as how they differ.
 * Note (difference between health advocacy and patient advocacy): Patient Advocacy leans more towards hospital stay, while Health Advocacy takes a more holistic lens to health that includes factors outside of the hospital.

Option 2

 * Article title: Patient advocacy
 * Article Evaluation
 * This article is really well structured and its inclusion of a separate section for organizations points to neutrality.
 * Under the "Roles" section, I believe the inclusion of social workers and similar positions that now exist within healthcare whose primary role is patient advocacy should be included here.
 * Ex. (health care) social workers
 * Ex. hospitals having their own versions of health advocates (ex. Health Advocates of Alameda, program at Highland, etc)
 * Note: Checking the Talk Page, there have been hefty deletes to content on this page due to lack of necessary citations. A decent chunk of the content looked good to include in the article (may possibly research on my own so it can get added back onto the page)
 * Sources

Option 3

 * Article title: Community Organizing
 * Article Evaluation
 * After reviewing both the page and the talk page, I think this article is sort of a lost cause. There does seem bias in terms of how "community organizing" is defend. I can understand how each organizing drive is different and there are no two drives exactly alike, in which case makes it difficult for the dozens of editors on this page to agree. The talk page itself is riddled with bickering and name calling. The main issues include the political nature of the topic, difficulties in finding an adequate generalization, and the varying opinions of the editors.
 * Note to self: this is NOT a highly ranked choice for this assignment
 * Sources

Option 4

 * Article title: Community Health Worker
 * Article Evaluation
 * This article includes a lot of relevant, unbiased, and cited material.
 * A majority of the content was in regards to community health workers in other countries. Part of the project with this article would to include more information about CHWs domestically.
