Brené Brown

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose the article on Brené Brown because I wanted to do more research on psychological writers. I recognized her name among the list of American psychological writers because I watched her Ted Talk on vulnerability, so I took this as an opportunity to learn more about her.

Evaluate the article
The lead section provides a quick summary of Dr. Brown's accomplishments and why she is deserving of notoriety by listing her tenures and accolades. The lead if concise but informative, with its points being further expanded upon in the rest of the article. The article is mostly to date, well characterizing her professional history in a somewhat objective manner, albeit the tone lends some praise to Dr. Brown. Female psychological writers are historically underrepresented in their field, but Dr. Brown herself has gained wide acclaim for her achievements. The many facets of her career are presented in their own distinct sections, briefly describing her professional history in writing and public speaking. The article is lacking in imagery and heavy in text, presenting only a single picture of Dr. Brown. The writers of the talk page indicate that the page is overwhelmingly positive for Dr. Brown, serving as a advertisement for her works. However, the article is part of the WikiProjects initiative for female writers Although the links were working, they were revised every 6 months. I felt the article was very concise and presented its points in clear and easy language, but it was rather subjective and did not provide much imagery. This article could be improved by additional images to break up the text and changing the tone to be more objective.
