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

Option 1

 * Article title: Elizabeth Robertson
 * Article Evaluation:
 * Lead Section- The title or the lead section could perhaps include Robertson's middle initial in her name since the name is somewhat generic. This could make it easier for future researchers find her Wiki page.
 * Content-There is no "Biography" section which I think is imperative when giving background on the scientist. The content is up-to-date, but I have found a few outside articles that contain information that may help me create a biography section.
 * Tone and Balance-The article has a neutral tone which should be maintained if I choose to edit this article.
 * Sources and References-The article uses a wide variety of reliable sources and doesn't plagiarize. All of the sources can be considered "current" except for references to some of her older publications, but this isn't a problem.
 * Media- the article does include an image of Robertson that is appropriate for the article
 * Organization- This article is well organized in a way that allows readers to follow it very easily. It is broken down into categories that make sense, but the present sections could be fleshed out more.
 * Talk page- there unfortunately isn't any discussion on the talk page for this article. This article does fall under the Biographies of Living Persons policy since she is still living. The article also falls under the WikiProject Women Scientists.
 * Overall impressions: this article is rated as a "Start" and has mid importance which makes it a great article to add to. The article is well developed for the amount of information available about Robertson on the internet, but could stand to use more background information about her (such as information pertaining to her early life and/or childhood.)

Option 2

 * Article title: Cecilia Moens
 * Article Evaluation
 * Lead Section-There needs to be more information added to the lead section as it is currently only 2 sentences long. It does not include a brief description of the article's major sections, but does include a table of contents.
 * Content-The content is relevant and up-to-date, the only issue is that there's just not much of it. The content of this article addresses the equity gap as it
 * Tone and Balance-The article is written with a neutral tone, so if I were to edit this article, I would want to make sure I maintain that.
 * Sources and References-It seems that all claims are linked to at least one source and the sources all appear to be reliable.
 * Media-There is no media on this page. It can be difficult to find one that abides by all Wiki rules and regulations, so I may not be able to contribute a relevant picture of her on the page.
 * Organization-The article is well organized. I might separate the education section from the research section, but that could also be a matter of personal preference.
 * Talk Page- There are no discussions on the talk page, and the article is rated as either a stub or start class by 3 different WikiProjects so far.
 * Overall Impressions-There still needs to be some work done on the page so that readers can get more in-depth information about Moens, and I think that I should be able to find some helpful information to supplement the page.

Option 3

 * Article title: Pearl Kendrick
 * Article Evaluation
 * Lead Section- While the lead section does get to the point quickly and in a concise manner, the article may benefit from adding some additional information to that section. It includes a table of contents for the rest of the article's sections and doesn't not include details that are not relevant to the rest of the page.
 * Content-There are some elements on the page that are awaiting verification, so if I were to select this article, then I would try to find any factual information on the web to verify the claims made. This page does deal with Wiki's equity gap as the page is about a female biologist whose name may not be well known outside of the biologists' community. The "Later Life and Death" and "Recognition" sections could be expanded to include a few more of her works and research during her later life.
 * Tone and Balance- It appears that this article already has a neutral tone with no claims that appeared to lean in one direction or the other.
 * Sources and References- Editors for this page, so far, have been doing a great job at cross linking other Wiki pages in the article which I find to be very helpful. The sources and references used are all fairly current. There is one source that looks to be a bit untrustworthy as it uses the Pearl Kendrick Wikipedia page as one of its references instead of using secondary information from other more credible sources.
 * Media-There is a WikiMedia image of Pearl Kendrick on the page that is titled correctly and includes her date of birth and death underneath as well as her alma mater and fields. Things like her nationality and affiliated institutions could potentially also be added.
 * Organization-The article checks all the boxes as being concise, clear, and easy-to-read and doesn't have any spelling or grammatical errors.
 * Talk Page- There are no discussions on the Talk Page for this article and is of interest to 5 different WikiProjects. The article is rated as a "Start" class by all the projects and fluctuates between mid and high importance depending on which WikiProject you're looking at.
 * Overall Impressions- This article is a "Start" class article and has a 40 completion score according to Wiki. So far, I think that editors have laid the groundwork for this article, and all that needs to be added is more background on Kendrick herself as well as information aside from her work developing the whooping cough vaccine.
