Please list articles that you're considering for your Wikipedia assignment below. Begin to critique these articles and find relevant sources.

Option 1

 * Mad Girl's Love Song
 * Article Evaluation:
 * When I first looked at this page, immediately, the huge lack of citations stood out. There are only six sources referenced and lots of sentences within the article completely without reference while making claims. The leading paragraph is good, giving a key into the timeline of Plath's life in comparison with the publication of the poem, but I also think a whole section could be dedicated to the timeline of the publication and Plath's first suicide attempt. Additionally, from having read the poem and some of the academic writing surrounding it, I think there are other critical readings and interpretations without religion, but that is the only section referenced in the article, another addition I think I could make. Overall, this would be good for the assignment because I can spend time citing and editing the paragraphs full of missing citations and also see places where I can make my own additions based off the other sources I've found.
 * Sources
 * - This source, instead of the religious lens, looks at the psychological aspect of madness throughout the poem: https://www.atlantis-press.com/proceedings/sschd-18/55912278
 * - As a possible reference, a pianist made a song inspired by her poem: https://brucetrinkley.com/documents/Mad-Girls-Love-Song-Voice-and-Piano.pdf
 * - This publication has two opinions on Plath's poetry and a discussion about female angst/depression which the poem inspired, again possibly serving as another reference or critical academic perspective to add to the article: https://www.jstor.org/stable/20642061?seq=1
 * - I haven't fully read this article, but it examines the poem from a cognitive perspective which could align with the madness publication (source 1) https://www.iasj.net/iasj/download/05d00444a0a748bb
 * - I found a picture of the first publication of the poem from when Plath was in college which could be a great image to include: https://www.bl.uk/collection-items/sylvia-plaths-mad-girls-love-song-from-mademoiselle
 * - this is a whole study on her psyche during her life which could add to a section on madness: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8763218/
 * - I found a picture of the first publication of the poem from when Plath was in college which could be a great image to include: https://www.bl.uk/collection-items/sylvia-plaths-mad-girls-love-song-from-mademoiselle

Option 2

 * Jamaica Osorio
 * Article Evaluation:
 * Dr. Osorio is one of my absolute favorite poets and biggest inspirations, in my opinion, her poem 1893 is one of the most powerful slam poems ever written. Although there's less published criticism on her poetry and life, getting to write about her and add to the information on the wikipedia article would be really fulfilling. Because her page is about her as a person and not just her poetry, I would want to add information about her short film in virtual reality "On the morning we wake" which I linked a source on. Moreso, a whole subsection on her advocacy for Mauna Kea could be a possible addition. Much of her cited references in the article right now are to Mauna Kea, so separating those and adding examples of her other activism works may also be a good addition. For being one of, if not the, most influential artists relating to Mauna Kea, I believe more examples, images, and quotes from her poems could be brought into the activism section in the article, as is right now does not do her work justice.
 * Sources
 * - On the morning we wake activism and more background on Osorio: https://www.kennedy-center.org/artists/o/oo-oz/jamaica-osorio/
 * - more on OTMYW https://www.onthemorningyouwake.com/
 * - Talks more about her spoken poetry and activism: https://hawaiicontemporary.org/artist-jamaica-heolimeleikalani could be used to reference her works not cited yet in the article
 * - I'm not sure if this source is considered reliable by wikipedia, but it has many of her poems relating to Mauna Kea so much so it could be a whole section: https://www.pbs.org/wnet/americanmasters/on-the-frontlines-of-maunakea-by-poet-jamaica-heolimeleikalani-osorio/18602/
 * - Talks more about her spoken poetry and activism: https://hawaiicontemporary.org/artist-jamaica-heolimeleikalani could be used to reference her works not cited yet in the article

Option 3

 * Are Women People?
 * Similar to Option 1, this article has only three references but I have found other sources that would back the claims made in the article. What makes this collection of poems interesting are the ways it is cited in the 21st century to show the lack of growth since the poem's first publishing. I included some sources that referenced "Are Women People?" although I'm not sure how important adding that section would be. I would like to look further into including images on this article page because there are published pictures of the original writings from the author Miller as well as images of her that could add depth to the article.
 * Sources
 * - This source has a good picture and some of the applications of the poems in publication: http://suffrageandthemedia.org/source/are-women-people-the-poetry-of-alice-duer-miller/
 * - A criticism of the poems that explains how Miller expertly used sarcasm and voice through the poems: https://academic.oup.com/book/12231/chapter/161703866 I could use it to cite the different literary devices Miller uses throughout the collection of poems
 * - I found this source https://law.duke.edu/sites/default/files/centers/clepp/belt-outcasts_from_the_vote_take_2.pdf but it says "draft do not cite or circulate" and I can't find the published version yet. But, I am including it in this list because if I chose this article as my assignment I would want to reference the source as another example of the effect of the publishing of the poems and the parallels modern writers are drawing today between the sarcastic struggles Miller writes about and the challenges women still face today.
