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
 * Librarian


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article would benefit from either an addition to the 'controversies in libraries' or a new section on movements in libraries to reference radical librarianism. Also perhaps a list of notable librarians, if that would be appropriate?


 * Sources
 * Sources from my classes and links to pages of librarians.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Popé


 * Article Evaluation
 * C-class article of high importance about a key figure in the Pueblo revolt. I'm not an expert but am very interested in this history and have read a number of accounts.  I own one of the few sources written by someone from the pueblos (see below) which is not cited and which provides different information than you might find in western sources.  The article could use more information in the section on the Pueblo revolt - that section is very short given that it's the reason Pope is remembered, and it also downplays recent issues between the Pueblos and Spaniards.  More information about the witchcraft trial that Pope was involved in would also be good as it neglects to mention Pope's verdict (mentioned in the Talk page in 2009 but not fleshed out since).  The page could also benefit from additional sources which I may be able to find in UA libraries and from Pueblo Nations' bibliography.

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Freedom Library


 * Article Evaluation
 * This would be a new article - these were mentioned in the podcast during the history of libraries section and I was surprised not to see anything about them on wikipedia. Might be hard to find enough sources but I did find a few that are promising.  However it might be overly ambitious to jump straight to a new article.

Option 4

 * Article title
 * Manzanita, Oregon. AND/OR Nehalem, Oregon


 * Article Evaluation
 * Two very small towns very close together - two separate articles but I could easily use many of the same sources for both. The Manzanita article is very basic, especially the history section, and does not include any mention of native peoples who lived there before.  Providing that context would be my primary focus but I could also flesh out other very minimal sections such as points of interest, recreation, and education.  The Nehalem article at least mentioned the Nehalem Tillamook people but doesn't provide any information about them (they were very active in that area).


 * Sources
 * Tillamook people
 * The Nehalem Tillamook - an ethnography: https://arizona-primo.hosted.exlibrisgroup.com/permalink/f/6ljalh/01UA_ALMA21413061410003843
 * https://ndnhistoryresearch.com/tribal-regions/southern-oregon-coastal-tribes/
 * Note - it may be difficult to find a lot of reputable sources about the native people of that area as their populations were very heavily hit and then survivors were moved away, so there isn't much of a presence left.

Option 5

 * Article title
 * Lotsee Patterson


 * Article Evaluation
 * This is a start class article of low to mid importance but I thought of it after doing some research into notable native american librarians. The article itself is not bad in that they provide many sources as well as lists of achievements but I think it could provide more information.  An easy way to improve it would be to add images (currently no pictures) and I already made a minor edit that I couldn't help in removing 'lifelong' from this statement, for clarity...  "As a lifelong native american".....the article could use additional citations on some points as well as some grammatical cleanup.


 * Sources
 * I haven't found any sources yet but Patterson has numerous writings online.
