=== William Milnor Roberts Article: ===

Pros

 * The article maintained adequate relevancy throughout
 * Executed in a very organized and concise manner
 * upheld neutrality and conveyed information objectively

Cons

 * The section titled, "Early life and career" lacks any material about Roberts's career and could use more detail in general.
 * In the "Career" section, the diction of "served as..." is a bit repetitive and emulates that of a resume instead of conveying how important Roberts's work was to society
 * Isn't very visually appealing which could have been solved by adding more pictures of projects Roberts was involved in.

Overall, the article did well at providing information on Roberts's life accomplishments. The talk page, however, provided an abundance of feedback that seemed to be very helpful; there were a lot of recommendations as to how the article could be improved and where certain sections were lacking.

=== American Society of Civil Engineers Article: ===

Pros

 * All of the information provided in the article is based on fact and shows no signs of favoritism or bias but rather displays information in an objective manner.
 * Any claim made about or in regards to ASCE were adequately referenced; The engineering society's own website was only referenced in regards to concrete facts such as the when and how ASCE was founded and other general information. No biased or self-promoting information was referenced from their website.
 * Being that ASCE was the first engineering society founded, it would be easy to provide excess amounts of information regarding their history, however, this article maintains a well balance throughout and even provides controversial events related to ASCE
 * This article also has the most structured talk page I've seen thus far; each contributor described what specifically they were responsible for contributing & why they felt the need to.

Overall this article is exceptionally written and structured in a manner that is easy on the eyes. It adequately conveys information on ASCE for Wikipedia users of all ages because there isn't a plethora of technical verbiage that would be difficult to digest for younger viewers or those foreign to engineering terminology.
