Article Selection
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
 * Herodicus


 * Article Evaluation
 * The article is brief and lacks detail. The sources all seem reliable.  The article could give more details to the medical practices attributed to Herodicus and his personal life.  The article is written with a neutral point of view.


 * Sources
 * Possible Sources: Herodicus, the Father of Sports Medicine; Herodicus, the Cratean: a study in anti-Platonic tradition. Definitely appears notable according to Wikipedia's standards.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Suni Edson


 * Article Evaluation
 * Suni Edson does not have a Wikipedia page yet. The WikiProject for women scientists marked her as a missing article.  She is a forensic geneticist employed by the Armed Forces DNA Identification Laboratory.  I am cautious to pursue this article because I think it will be difficult to find sources for it.


 * Sources
 * After a brief search I could not find any sources on Edson that were not scientific papers she was involved with. Low notability.

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Alessandra Gilianni


 * Article Evaluation
 * The article offers a brief overview of the ambiguous Alessandra Gilianni, but it lacks detail. More could be stated about her proposed role as Modino de Luizzi's prosector, and the reasons her existence is controversial could be detailed further in the article (covering all perspectives of course).


 * Sources
 * I would start with translations of the texts by MIchele Medici who records Alessandra Gilianni in her history of the Bolognese school of anatomy.
