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 Ethics
 * Article Evaluation This is a wide area of study that has been written on and will have a long list of sources from Ancient Greece to the modern day. There are also numerous subsets of the subject of ethics to explore as well as different periods that are relevant to the topic. It might be best to focus on one subset than the subject in its entirety. However, because the it's been written about in depth it might not be the best article to edit. And I'd need to pick a specific subset of ethics to be able to find viable sources.
 * Sources There are quite varied sources on the topic of ethics but I can't tell if they are reputable and the subject is too broad. So this choice is OUT!

Option 2

 * Article title Women in NASA
 * Article Evaluation The role of women in NASA seems fairly interesting to research. How did women help to shape and grow the vision of NASA while being left out of the history of the organization? What did women's contributions bring to the the technology that landed us on moon and may take us to Mars one day?

 * https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2006AAS...20911702I/abstract
 * Having a hard time with finding credible sources for this too. So I am saying no to this article too.

Option 3

 * Article title Women in STEM Fields
 * Article Evaluation Another interesting subject to research as women have typically been under represented in the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics. Why is this? What can be done to change this? And what women are leading the charge to change this? I think I could find a good amount of sources for this article but it's already a lengthy article and I don't think it would be a good choice for this assignment.

Option 4

 * Article title Suspended Animation
 * Article Evaluation A timely subject given our Unit 3 discussion on end-of-life decisions and wishes. It's an interesting subject about suspending the biological functions of the body without causing death. The article itself is in need of editing especially when it comes to the flow and wording of the article. This might be the front runner article for me.

Option 5

 * Article title Exploratory Engineering
 * Article Evaluation This too is an interesting subject about hypothetical systems that technology cannot support yet. Not being an engineering major it might be hard to speak knowledgeably about the subject, but this article could be improved with some editing as well.
