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:Augie and Margo Rodriguez - Article would only cover Margo Rodriguez
 * Article Evaluation:The article contained accurate information about the duo and a bit of background. The article was very short and did not have but information altogether. This would have been a better article if more sources were found and there was more information about both of them. A lot of the sources cited in the article are also no longer active so it is hard to verify where the information came from.
 * Sources:www.nytimes.com/2014/07/27/nyregion/augie-rodriguez-86-half-of-a-mambo-team-dies.html. :www.harlemworldmagazine.com/harlems-margo-rodriguez-half-of-mambo-duo-passes-video/. :www.nytimes.com/2019/01/31/obituaries/margo-rodriguez-dies.html.:www.salsavida.com/salsa-dance-terms/mambo/.

Option 2

 * Article title:Dr. Catherine Yi-yu Cho Woo
 * Article Evaluation:This is a source that has a lot of information about the artist and her background in art. We are able to learn a lot about the accomplishments she achieved during her life as an artist and where she came from as well. Though the article has a lot of useful information about Catherine, it is a cite dedicated to her and is likely to have bias. This would not be a good source to use when writing about her. The information also cannot be confirmed to be valid.

Option 3

 * Article title:Joanne De Longchamps (Frederic Joseph DeLongchamps)
 * Article Evaluation:This article is provides information about Joanne's father and his background. The article has some citations included but not a sufficient amount citing where all of the information about him came from. The article covering Joanne, provided a lot of information about her and her writing as a poet. The information is reported to have come from a book and includes information about all of the adventures she faced during her life. A weakness from this source would be the lack of an author's name. There is no way to verify all of the information is true.

Option 4

 * Article title:Vera Fokina (https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vera_Fokina)
 * Article Evaluation:This article includes a bit of information about Vera and her background. Neither articles are very long and they do not have a sufficient amount of information included. The wikipedia article does not cite any sources for where the information came from, so the information cannot necessarily be trustworthy. Both sources include similar information, however, about Vera. This would not be a good source to include in an article about Vera's life.

Option 5

 * Article title:Ethel Frances Smith Baldwin (Henry Alexander Baldwin)
 * Article Evaluation:The article had little information about Ethel but introduced her as Henry's wife and included information about their marriage and children together. The Biographical Sketch article, however, spoke about the role she played in women's suffrage and how she was an activist. The article goes into detail about the work she did and all she fought for. It seems to be published by a university student and several citations were included at the end to verify the information. Thought the information does not come from a very trustworthy source, I would say the information is still useful as it has many sources that backup all of the information stated.
