Article Selection
Please list articles that you're considering for your Wikipedia assignment below. Begin to critique these articles and find relevant sources. Nice work Gaby. You've got a great list to chose from here. The League of Mexican women not being present is a total shocker. It makes me sad that these entries are slim and/or don't exist.

Option 1

 * Article title
 * Leonor Villegas de Magnon


 * Article Evaluation
 * The article is concise, well-organized, and unbiased. It covers a topic from Mexican and Mexican American history and Mexican women's history, Leonor Villegas de Magnón. Most of the sources appear up-to-date (from the early 2000s) given that the article is about a historical figure. There are only 6 sources, 2 of them being the different versions of Magnón's novel. There is not that many sources, but there is also not that much information. The article could go into more detail as far as her notable achievements during the Mexican Revolution as well as the affiliations she had with prominent revolutionary figures. It could also include more information on what is in her novel and the spy network she operates within it. Was the spy network in the novel real? Was Magnon the head of it? The article does not address it. On the talk page, it looks like only one or two editors have contributed to this article which might explain its brevity. There are no pictures or images on the page. Overall the page feels somewhat bare.

Option 2

 * League of Mexican Women


 * Article Evaluation
 * does not exist.


 * Sources

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Jesus Colon


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article is rated Start class but also rated mid- to top importance. The article has good information but it could go into more detail. It does not discuss his individual writing as much, only mentioning one of his works and lists some others at the bottom. At first glance, there looks to be a good number of sources, but it is possible that a few of more substantial quality could be found. The also does not discuss in fuller detail Colon's socialist or political views other than a passing mention in the first section.
