Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
(Briefly explain why you chose it, why it matters, and what your preliminary impression of it was.)

I decided to choose the article about Katharine Bement Davis, because I thought she had very interesting contributions to the health field and she was a very influential woman during her time period. This article matters because it allows readers to gain knowledge about who she was as a person and what contributions she made to the health field. My first impression of the article was that a lot of information needed to be added, as the article was very brief and did not include a lot of detailed information.

For the lead section of the article, it was very short and only had 2-3 sentences that did not connect in a good way. As for content, the article included a lot of relevant and important information about the person of interest, however, the information was very brief and not detailed. I think the tone and balance of the article are good and were written from a neutral point of view with no bias. All of the sources and references were up to date and relevant to the information in the article. However, some sentences do need a reference added to them. There is only one single image in the article that is a picture of the woman who is discussed, however, the image is relevant and has a description of when it was taken. The article's talk page was very short and did not have many discussions going on, however, the article is a part of 8 different Wikiprojects. Overall, I think the article needs a lot of improvements and edits, as it is a little underdeveloped. However, the articles main strength is that it has important and accurate topics included about Katharine's life.
