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: Mary Ann Oatman
 * Article Evaluation: Wikipedia itself states that the neutrality of the article and the notability of the subject are in question. In critiquing the article itself it is very short and I agree with wikipedia that the article contains some subjective statements. However, I disagree with their evaluation of her notability. I believe she is an important figure because she represents a very unique cultural perspective as a white woman who was abducted by Native Americans and resided with them.
 * Sources: In a quick evaluation of the sources they seem reputable and are all suitable for academic writing however there is only three sources, more sources are necessary to compile a more well rounded article.

Option 2

 * Article title: Samuel Kirkland
 * Article Evaluation: Although this article is more thorough and doesn't contain the subjective statements that the last article had there is still room to expand on this article. For example the article really does not provide a lot of detail regarding Samuel Kirkland's direct involvement in the Iroquois involvement in the revolutionary war.
 * Sources: This author used five sources but many of them are old. The most recent source was written in 2010 and the oldest in 1935. Due to the number and age of the sources there is room to improve this article.
