= Article Evaluation =


 * Is everything in the article relevant to the article topic? Is there anything that distracted you? -
 * Is any information out of date? Is anything missing that could be added?
 * What else could be improved?
 * Is the article neutral? Are there any claims that appear heavily biased toward a particular position?
 * Are there viewpoints that are overrepresented, or underrepresented?
 * Check a few citations. Do the links work? Does the source support the claims in the article?
 * Is each fact referenced with an appropriate, reliable reference? Where does the information come from? Are these neutral sources? If biased, is that bias noted? Now take a look at how others are talking about this article on the talk page.
 * What kinds of conversations, if any, are going on behind the scenes about how to represent this topic?
 * How is the article rated? Is it a part of any WikiProjects?
 * How does the way Wikipedia discusses this topic differ from the way we've talked about it in class?

Everything was relevant and organized well. Not a very long article, so Iʻd suggest adding more about the topic of "Maori Science" by perhaps discussing the different scientific practices the people may have, or how it developed, etc. The articleʻs tone was neutral and only discussed facts. The citations are in top shape and supports the article. Only one person asked a question in the talk section a couple months ago. The article is apart of 2 different wiki projects I believe. Wikipedia is clearly a cite for neutral, non-opinionated, cold-hard facts. Whereas class is more of a mix of feelings and opinions.

= Article Selection = Discuss your choices with your instructor. Make sure your selections are clearly marked in your sandbox along with your notes to improve the articles.

Start compiling a list of relevant, reliable books, journal articles, or other sources. You can keep a running list of these sources in your sandbox to reference easily when you start writing.


 * 1) Jocasta- add more sources
 * 2) Marduk- add sources, reword to fit wikipedia standards
 * 3) Zuni Mythology- find more sources

Article Finalization
Continue to expand your bibliography for your chosen topic and post that bibliography to the Talk page of the article you'll be working on, and in your sandbox.

Make sure to check in on the Talk page to see if anyone has advice on your bibliography. Adding the article to your Watchlist by clicking the star next to "View history" will help you keep track. If you've added your email to your account (which is a really good idea), you'll get notifications if something on the page changes.

Zuni Mythology Bibliography list (for now)
http://www.native-languages.org/zuni-legends.htm

http://pages.hmc.edu/beckman/western/zuni.htm

I will explore further into these cites for more information into the various Zuni characters and expand on the topic.
