Please list articles that you're considering for your Wikipedia assignment below. Begin to critique these articles and find relevant sources.

Option 1

 * Jane Goodall
 * Article Evaluation
 * Jane Goodall is a prominent scientist and most of her wikipedia page is thorough. The page is detailed and neutral but more information could be added on her recent environmental work as well as her work on climate change. The sources are reliable but many of them come directly from Jane Goodall's website. It would be advantageous to look at exterior sources other than her website. Most of the article contains citations. Occasionally, there are some missing.

Option 3

 * Margaret Murie
 * Article Evaluation
 * Margaret Murie was a pioneer of the conversation movement. However, there is hardly any information on her scientific achievements in this article. It could be vastly improved by adding more information on her work. Unfortunately, Murie may not be a notable contender as most sources come from her own website and very little information exists about her that is not written.
