Trying to get this project started with a female figure we've read about already.

Evaluate the article

 * Is everything in the article relevant to the article topic? Is there anything that distracted you?
 * I found that a lot of the sentences/paragraph structure was not framed from Cockacoeske's perspective, especially all of the sections related to Bacon's Rebellion (see the paragraph that begins with "Thomas Mathew, whose history of cheating..."--could read "Cockacoeske, having been summoned to Jamestown in [DATE], came with her interpreter to negotiate the Pamunkey's treaty obligations with the English." The long quotation was really hard to get into. The importance of her signing the Treaty of Middle Plantation could be highlighted with better paragraph structure.
 * Is any information out of date? Is anything missing that could be added?
 * A 2012 article by Ethan Schmidt in American Indian Quarterly is missing from the Further Readings
 * Can you identify any notable equity gaps? Does the article underrepresent or misrepresent historically marginalized populations?
 * Like in the first question, this entry focuses on the English settlers' actions and not the perspective of the Pamunkey.
 * What else could be improved?


 * Check a few citations. Do the links work? Does the source support the claims in the article?
 * Links not working for Notes 1 & 13, link should be updated for note #2; no citation for the long quote in the middle of the source;
 * Is each fact referenced with an appropriate, reliable reference? Where does the information come from? Are these neutral sources? If biased, is that bias noted?
 * needs full citation for article listed as Alfred Cave, Lethal Encounters
 * Lots of military history sources in References, no citation references to things written on her by female authors (Helen Roundtree, Martha McCartney)
 * Do the sources come from a diverse array of authors and publications?
 * Mostly
