Article evaluation: Gertrude B. Elion Is everything in the article relevant to the article topic? Is there anything that distracted you? Yes everything seemed relevant and I did not get distracted as I read through the page. It does a very good job of listing out her inventions in a chart type manner, this adds simplicity to the page. Is the article neutral? Are there any claims, or frames, that appear heavily biased toward a particular position? Yes the article is neutral there is no bias involved. Are there viewpoints that are overrepresented, or underrepresented? I think that her education can be expanded on, there are not years given some of her schooling. The research section could be expalined as well it could tell how she did research on each invention not just list them. Check a few citations. Do the links work? Does the source support the claims in the article? Yes the citations are reliable, and support the claims. 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? Yes each fact stated is referenced with an appropriate reliable reference. THe sources include things like the nobel prize .org which is reliable and other scientific reliable websites. Is any information out of date? Is anything missing that could be added? Some dates need to be added, and some sections could be expanded which i talked about above. Check out the Talk page of the article. What kinds of conversations, if any, are going on behind the scenes about how to represent this topic? The talk page has lots of good advice and points out a great point where a claim is made that potentially is not backed by evidence. I agree with the talk page when it says that the biography section could be expanded on. The amount of suggestions on the talk page is very helpful. How is the article rated? Is it a part of any WikiProjects? It is part of multiple wikiProjects, it has a low importance in chemistry, physiology, New York City, and Hudson Valley. It has a high importance in women history and women scientists. How does the way Wikipedia discusses this topic differ from the way we've talked about it in class? In class we have discussed the importance of women in medicine and how they were viewed in earlier times, this article brings up the topic that due to her being a woman there were certain struggles she faced and limitations in her life.

Surgeon Honoria Somerville Keer I plan to add the place Keer studied, all the places she practiced medicine, more groups she was involved with, and more about her home life. Some sources I will add are http://www.universitystory.gla.ac.uk/ww1-biography/?id=78, and http://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/usbiography/k/honoriakeer.html.

Rough Draft:

Anna Fischer-Dückelmann (1856-1917) was a woman born in Germany. She was one of the first women to receive a medical degree in Germany, this was at the University of Zurich. In 1896 she earned a degree at the University and at this time women were still not allowed to be enrolled in German universities or medical schools. She has since been known as a naturopath and physician for women in Germany. She has published many books and they have been converted into many different languages.

Her work: Die Frau als Hausärztin was one of her most well known works. The title means "The Woman as a Family Doctor" and was seen in 1901.

Personal Life: Daughter of Friedrich Dückelmann an Austrian military doctor. She married Arnold Fischer and had three children all before 1890. She received her degree in 1896 from the University of Zurich. From 1897-1914 she had a medical practice for women and pediatrics.
