Article Evaluations:

I read the article, "Genesis flood narrative". The first thing I noticed was the title. "Flood" and "narrative" should have both been capitalized and since they are not, it makes the article appear less credible. All of the content in the article was relevant to the topic but the article seemed to be lacking text and appeared very short for how much could be seen about the Genesis Flood. I did like the connections to other mythology and to different religions. The information was all up to date. The article uses informal language in some of the paragraphs, such as " The flood is part of what scholars call the primeval history". The summary is also fairly short and is about seven sentences long. There are many citations and the ones I checked worked. I then checked the talk page, where many people left comments suggesting that the author make significant changes to the page, some of which the author refutes and some he is ok with.

Article Selections:


 * 1) There is not currently an article on Iyangura, who is Mwindo's aunt in The Mwindo Epic. Iyangura is a vital part of the story and there is a lot of information to be said about her. There is an article, "Mwindo epic", on Wikipedia already, but it provides a pretty short amount of information regarding Iyangura as a character. If I wrote an article about Iyangura, I would be sure to include background on Iyangura as a character and include a section about the importance of aunts in Nyanga culture.
 * 2) The article about Kintu on Wikipedia is currently extremely short. It is only seven sentences long and provides very little insight into who Kintu was and his role in Ugandan mythology. The article has two resources, one which seems to be supportive of the article, and one that seems to hold little relevance. There is much more to be written about Kintu, since he is the "first man" in Ugandan mythology.
 * 3) There is currently not an article on Nambi, the wife of Kintu and the daughter of Mugulu. Nambi plays an important role in the Ugandan creation story and there is a lot to be written about her in regards to her role in the story, and her importance in general. She is mentioned twice in the article about Kintu on Wikipedia, but the article doesn't touch on her role in the myth, only that she is Warumbe's sister and the daughter of Mugulu.
