Article Evaluation
Article being evaluated: '''Ellen Prince '''

In this article everything does look relevant to the info provided for Ellen. Some of the things that distracted me or could say bothered me was the fact that her date of birth was not listed. I'm sure there is an article or some source where it states the date of her birth. The article did not show any signs of it being opinionated or biased, it was neutral. The article was definitely underrepresented the article is so short! There wasnt a lot of information about her or enough details about her accomplishments in pragmatics. The citations to this article do support for her publications but there was no source to where it states where they got the information on where she graduated, when she died, etc. Each citation did go along with the publications that were listed but again there wasnt a citation on where they got the information on where she got her PhD, college she attended, basic life information. As well as how she pioneered into pragmatics. Everything seems to be up to date since 2015, a ciation on her life info could be added. In the talk section of the article there was no conversation in it or anything for that matter. The article is not in wikiprojects and is considered a stub because its a very short article. Wikipedia has a variety of sources where they can tell from a lot of point of views, but each source could be fake or not reliable. Where as in class we would know if its reliable source or not.

Barbara Johnstone
Looking at her wiki page I can already note that some of the information are not in chronogical order. For example her academic works such as the books she wrote the years she published it are in the wrong order. Another thing that I can contribute is her legacy and a list of her most notable papers, books or research. As well as noting down where she got her academic creditentials as in what universities did get her degrees from.
