Article Evaluation
The article I chose is called Great Books. Everything in the article was relevant and on topic although, some of the information is out of date. They don't talk about what is happening now with the list of Great Books and what the process of changing the list is like. A few things could be improved. There are a handful of "citation needed" and there needs to be more information on the controversy section and what's happening today with the Great Books. I also think it should be updated in general, the last time it was updated was in 2017.

There is bias toward Alder, a member of Great Book Foundation, where they imply that he didn't want a diverse group of authors. I also looked in the talk page and one person said the information wasn't even accurate. I think this part needs more information about Alder and want he wanted. This was the only part I found confusing and bias. All of the sources I clicked through seem reliable and unbiased. When reading the article there were some citation needed, but other than that the sources seemed solid. There could be more information with as many sources it has.

On the talks page, most of the conversations that were going on where on topic and about making the article better. There was one that was talking about wanting to add an author on the list of great books which was not helping make the article itself better. The article is rated start and is on three projects. Wikipedia didn't discuss some of the things I was curious about, like the process of changing and adding on the list and what today's list looks like.

== Flash Gordon(Soundtrack) == -The article is called Flash Gordon(soundtrack). The article has a good start but obviously needs a lot of work. The article seems to have a good amount of sources but when I look closer at it most of them are for the chart section of the article. The rest of the sources are okay, the seem reliable but don't have a lot of information. The chart section is solid and doesn't need much more attention. It's missing a lot like a background

-I would want to add a lot!


 * First I would want to add a background describing what the band has already done. I would also put in how they decided to write a soundtrack, especially just after releasing an album.
 * A concept section, talking about what they intended this soundtrack to sound like.
 * A recording section, where we find out what studio they recorded at and anything interesting that happened during that process.
 * Reissuing and remastering section because Queen is so iconic, and I know it has been remastered.

- I'm curious to know what they wanted this to sound like, if they ever preformed any of these songs and if Queen wrote these songs.

- The first source I found was http://www.queenonline.com/music Queens official website. The information isn't recent, but that's because the soundtrack is from 1980. However, the website itself is up to date and has the all rights reserved 2018 at the bottom. The website is from Queen's point of view, has some of the members first hand accounts, and it also has a lot more detail about how the album was made.

-The second source I found https://www.udiscovermusic.com/behind-the-albums/queen-flash-gordon/. This article was published in 2017 and the website is up to date. The author Max Bell worked for NME, which was a British music magazine, in the 70's which makes him seem like he has reliable information. The article has some of the same information as the other, which also makes its seem credible.

== NASA Art Program == -The second article I chose is NASA Art Program. The article only has a couple sentences on the subject and some of the artists that contributed. It has some good sources that I could utilize but not enough for a whole article. It was only edited once in 2012 but because this is history the sources should still be okay.

-I would add.....


 * Who started the program
 * Why they started this program
 * If this program still exists/ when it ended
 * Some of the art that was created
 * A bit about some of the artists

- One question I had was is this program still going on now? Did people know about it while it was happening?

- Two sources I found are, https://www.brainpickings.org/2013/08/29/nasa-art-program/. The author doesn't have any experience with NASA, but she does have links within her article to some sources. This article doesn't have a lot of information but it does have some of the artwork from this program. The point of view is neutral but it doesn't have when it was last updated. Overall this source is just okay.

- I also found https://www.nasa.gov/feature/nasa-and-art-a-collaboration-colored-with-history. This source is a .gov and is from NASA's website.It has links throughout and was updated in 2017. The author was an intern for NASA and it's editor also works for NASA so it might be slightly bias. This source has a lot of really good information and is reliable.

-Another source I found was called Art, technology, and the American space program, 1962-1972. It was from the Academic one files and has lots of information, as well as a reference page. The article isn't recent but because this happened in the past it doesn't affect the reliability.

== Politics of Outer Space == -The third article I chose was Politics of Outer Space. This article has only a couple sentences in the introduction and links to some of the treaties involved. It has two sources that don't have a lot of information. It has off and on editing and the most recent was this month.

-I would add....


 * The start of space politics
 * Who (if anyone) owns space
 * Big events that happened
 * Conflicts that arose

-Questions I have are when did space law start? Who is involved with space politics? Does anyone own some of space?

-The first source I found was http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/next/space/space-law/. This article is from a reliable website, was made in 2015, and has a lot of good information. It doesn't have any references, but pbs is a dependable website.

-I also found is called Outer Space: Politics and Law. It has lots of information but was made in 1989. This source will be good when talking about the history of space politics.The information isn't bias but it is on a very specific part of space politics.

-Another source I found is https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/clackamas/reader.action?docID=744004&ppg=1. The author has a Ph.D in space and is currently a teacher. The book was published in 2011. It has information on space security and some information about the politics of space.

Article Pitch
The article I want to edit is the NASA space art program. It has information on it and it is specific enough where its not overwhelming. There is also a lot that needs to be added to the article. The topic is very interesting to me and I love all the art that was created because of it. My first three steps are correcting any information that is already on the article, adding who was involved in creating the program, and add why it was created.
