Option 1

 * Article title
 * Juliet Stillman Severance


 * Article Evaluation
 * The Juliet Severance article has a lot of room for improvement. The article is a stub and uses only three references, each of which is improperly cited. Also, I'm not sure why the article uses the name "Juliet Stillman Severance" when there are so many other sources that do not.


 * Sources
 * Passet, Joanne E. "Print Culture and the Construction of Radical Identity: Juliet H. Severance and the Reform Press in Late Nineteenth-Century America." JANIK, ERIKA.

"Evolutionary Rhetoric: Sex, Science, and Free Love in Nineteenth-Century Feminism, by Wendy Hayden." (2014): 191-193.   Sheley, Nancy Strow.

A Journal of Undergraduate History 15 (2011).

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Christine Frederick


 * Article Evaluation
 * I think that this article could be improved by dividing the Efficiency Expert section into multiple different sections. Some of the information in this article seems to be in the wrong section altogether. For example, the death section includes the fact that Frederick's papers are kept in the Radcliffe Institute's Schlesinger Library. There is definitely room for improvement in the reference section. I think that the article relies too heavily on primary sources and that the secondary sources included are not necessarily the best ones available.

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Native American Outing System


 * Article Evaluation
 * There is no existing Wikipedia article on the Native American Outing System. I checked using multiple different names for the system and on multiple related articles.
