Article evaluation

Nzinga of Ndongo and Matamba

This article is tricky to document because a lot of information regarding Nzinga is very bias. Missionaries created a lot of the "facts" that are being presented, so naturally there is bias. However, this is really all that a lot of historians have to work with, so as long as they make it very clear in the article that some information is bias, then I have no problem with anything that they are saying.

As a whole, the topic is very well researched and described. All of the hard facts are cited with a credibly source. I don't think that any information is missing from this article, or at least any information that is factually based. There is a significant amount of research that can be done, but even then the research will again be very complicated to gain since it is so undocumented by a lot of different and reliable scholars.

For the assignment, I added in a quick citation to this article.

I'm very excited to be working on this project with everyone! I can contribute my writing skills, which can be very objective. For my major, I am not allowed to write in a bias manner, so everything I write for the Wiki page will be pretty cut-and-dry.

Also, a couple of sources can be found below!

Some thoughts on Mary Alice McWhinnie

For this article, our team can add in some information. I think looking more into her early life, how she got to where she got to, would be incredibly beneficial. We also could add more information (facts, resources and references) to the currently existing information. However, I really think looking more at her early life and then maybe even at her later years, would be increidbly beneficial.
