Article Name: Camilla Stivers

Section One: Evaluation of existing article quality

As of today, there is a short summary/bio that serves as the existing Wiki article on Camilla Stivers. The existing article gives a decent brief summary for someone who is just trying to get the gist of who she is. We as a group believe that some parts of the existing summary should be relocated to other categories/topics in the article. After this is completed, we need to make the summary portion a little more of a general synopsis of who Camilla Stivers is while being more specific in each individual category/topic.

According to the “Quality Grading Scheme”, our existing article should be rated as a “Start”. An article with a “start” rating is one that is developing, but is incomplete. It might or might not cite adequate reliable sources and it provides some meaningful content, but still missing a lot of information as well. Our article is developing but has no references at all. All of the parts of the existing entry are clearly relevant to the topic.

Overall, the article only includes academic information and a list of her published works. This does not allow the reader to understand the full depth of her contributions to the public administration field or the theories that she has developed. In the revisions, we plan to use similar information that is currently in the article. However, we will also include pertinent information regarding her biographical background.

Section Two: Detailed outline of proposed revisions

Intro: This section covers her entire academic life, yet it lacks any biographical information, which is why we are adding in another section. This section may need some rewording. Camilla M. Stivers. (2013, January 1). Retrieved March 10, 2015, from http://www.napawash.org/fellows/fellows-biographies/fellows-last-names-p-t/1506-camilla-m-stivers.html

Early life: Non-existent in current article. Difficult to find via online sources and book jacket covers. Some information on her husband (deceased) and possibly her children found in husbands 2012 obituary.

Contacting her via email

Education: This section will mostly pull from the current Intro paragraph and give the sequence of events a bit more depth.

Career: This section will focus less on her education and more as her presence in the field of Public Administration and some of her prominently accepted theories.

Recognition: A list in sequential order of any and all academic or honorary accolades. http://urban.csuohio.edu/media/college/dist_scholar/2004_photo_gallery/pages/camilla%20stivers'%20welcome.html

Scholarly work: This section is already in the existing article, it just may need to be reworded so it is not just a list. The hyperlinks also need to be tested out. Her two major books (ie Bureau Men, Settlement Women: Constructing Public Administration in the Progressive Era, Government is Us: Public Administration in an Anti-government Era) will be summarized.

Criticisms of Published work: Work in progress (still locating criticisms; majority of reviews agree with her) Hugh T. Miller Review: http://www.jstor.org/stable/25611067

Janet R. Hutchinson Review: http://www.jstor.org/stable/25610731

Taylor Review: http://www.jstor.org/stable/977153 Section Three: Joint Work Plan Group Responsibilities: All members will do equal amounts of research and collaboration throughout the project.

Peer Review: Hello Stivers Strivers, first of all I love the group name that y’all chose. I enjoyed reading your group review, it was nice and simple to read. It has many references on the life of Ms. Stivers but I think there could have been more information about her life and her accomplishments. Other than that your sandbox looks great and I was not able to find any grammatical errors. Verduzco1987 (talk) 21:44, 27 April 2015 (UTC)
