Which article are you evaluating?
Jane Schutt

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article because it is about a woman who did very important work, as she was a civil rights activist, but there is very limited information about her life and her work provided. My first impression of the article is that there is hardly any information, and there must be more information about her somewhere to be able to add more context to her situation and to her work.

Evaluate the article
Lead Section:

- It is concise and provides a brief summary of Jane Schutt, but it is only 1 sentence.

- Only includes information later stated in the article.

- Gives very minimal information about her work, just says that she is a civil rights activist.

Content:

- The content is relevant and up-to-date

- I definitely think there is content missing - more about her early life and motivations for joining the civil rights movement would be helpful

- More information about her life outside the civil rights movement would be helpful to contextualize her as a person

Tone and Balance:

- I think the article is very neutral, straightforward, and does not attempt to persuade readers of anything

- All of the information provided is matter-of-fact and does not use persuasive language

Sources and References:

- I clicked on all of the sources and they all seem legit - several of them seem to be primary sources

- Most of the sources do not have a lot of information on her, so it seems that there is limited information on her in general, or not a lot of work was put into finding quality information

- There are only 6 sources total, a few of which are constantly cited - but given the lack of information in the article, this makes sense

- There is one quote in the middle of a section that I would assume is Schutt's quote, but there is no citation or anything that says it is hers

Organization and Writing Quality:

- The writing quality is very good - it is clear and free of any errors

- The organization makes sense - but since there are only a few categories there is really no other logical way to organize it

Images and Media:

- There are no images or media

Talk Page Discussion:

- The article is part of the Women's History Project and the Biography Project

- There is currently no discussion on the Talk Page, so it must not be a frequently looked at article (if it is ever looked at)

Overall Impressions:

-The article just has very limited information on the Schutt, but all of the information provided is good. I definitely think more information on her early life should be included in order to better understand her motivations for her activism.
