 * Article Evaluation
 * This article seems to have relevant information that is neutral. I believe if I were to improve this article it would be to improve the sources. There are not many sources for this article compared to others that I have found that have had similar achievements and stories.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Ruby Bradley


 * Article Evaluation
 * Ruby Bradley was the most decorated female in the United States Army. She was buried at Arlington National Cemetery in 2002. There is a book about her life as well as other references of her in other books related to the topic of women achievements. There is very little on her early life as well as very little on her actual achievements. I believe I can improve the article on her story because there is very little told about her on her wikipedia page. There is room for improvement on both her military career as well as other aspects of her life. For her military career

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Lyn St. James


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article is about a woman who drove nascar. She was one of the best for her gender and competed at one of the highest levels in the sport. There is very little written about here even with multiple books written about her. I believe there is room for improvement on her story and achievements.

Option 4

 * Article title
 * Jemeker Thompson


 * Article Evaluation
 * Jemeker Thompson was one of the largest distributors of narcotics in America. She was showcased in a Netflix documentary and there is very little information on her life. She eventually went on to start a ministry and became a better person after being convicted. There is more to tell about her life than what is on wikipedia. I think this article can be expanded upon to incorporate a more well rounded picture of her life.

Option 5

 * Article title
 * Marie Van Brittan Brown
 * Article Evaluation
 * This article has a little description of what Mrs. Browns accomplishment was of home security. She had invented the idea and worked her invention into a simplified peep hole that would be able to be seen from any room in the house. There is areas of what shaded in life that can be improved upon. There are also no picture of her invention on her wikipedia site. This would allow for readers to better understand her invention.
