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: Militsa Zyornova
 * Article Evaluation
 * It's a straightforward, short biography that mostly lists various life events. There're almost no details given on these events besides that they happened. This was somewhat odd since she was in charge of St. Basil's house in Oxford and got East Orthodox Christianity taught on the syllabus, which in itself seems to warrant more explanation. It's tone is entirely neutral.
 * Sources
 * There are only seven sources listed. One is to a very old website. The rest link to e-books that are behind paywalls.

Option 2

 * Article title: Claire Spottiswoode
 * Article Evaluation
 * There isn't one. I thought this was odd, since I was able to find a litany of results for her when I looked her up, including a couple of published books. She's apparently pretty well known in the ornithology world.
 * Sources
 * I was able to find a detailed Cambridge biography, as well as her books Essential Birding: Western South Africa and Where to Watch Birds in Ethiopia.

Option 3

 * Article title Rosanna Gusmano
 * Article Evaluation
 * The article is nine sentences long. Each one maintains a neutral tone. She's considered a pioneer in pediatric nephrology and she's performed multiple kidney transplants to help patients avoid dialysis, but this isn't expanded upon. There's little biography.
 * Sources
 * The biographical claims aren't cited. There are only two sources. One is to an index. I had trouble accessing the other (though that may have been a technical issue on my end). The "Further Reading" section is just her obituary.

Option 4

 * Article title Sofia Schafranov
 * Article Evaluation
 * The article is short, but touches on most of the key moments in her life, notably surviving the holocaust. It has a neutral tone and, similar to the previous articles, is more of a list.
 * Sources
 * Several sentences lack any citations. The most easily accessible source is Primo Levi's biography, but it doesn't seem to have any direct reference to her life, rather it cites her as a source on him.

Option 5

 * Article title: Elena Gentile
 * Article Evaluation
 * Short, but substantive. Again, the tone is neutral. There are very few early biographical details. Most of the work is devoted to her political career. My main concern surrounding the equity gape aspect is that her scientific career isn't touched on despite her being listed as a physician. It's not even mentioned on the page itself, just the "Women in Red" Wikipedia page.
 * Sources
 * Each claim has a citation and the sources, mostly Italian articles, are easy to view.
