Article Evaluation
The article I am evaluating is Communicative competence. Even though the article is lacking in content, everything in the article is relevant. Nothing obvious distracted me from the article. The article seems to be fairly neutral, but there is a lot of information using Dell Hymes as a source. Therefore, the Hymes viewpoint might be overrepresented. Conversely, there is only one sentence using Leung as a source. A source I checked only lead to the database from which the source came, so I wasn't able to check if the source supports the claim. Every reference is from a reliable source, all different peer-reviewed journals. Only one source is recent, being from 2005. All the other sources come from the 1960s, which makes me believe that could be more recent information could be added. On the Talk page, there was an ask for clarification of a part of the article, as well as the subsequent deletion of that reference because of copyright issues. This article is a part of WikiProjects Linguistics. As of yet, communicative competence has not been discussed in class, therefore I cannot compare the article to the lecture.

Johnstone Article
Elaborating on Johnstone's "style-shifting among Texas women", especially if she has a lot of research and papers out there on that topic. In addition to that, overall the article needs better organization and help with clarity. There is also an uneven amount of information over her Pittsburgh English research; if the other topics of her research could also get more coverage, it would make her page overall better.

Johnstone Article Draft
Expand on Texas Women research:
 * From "Uses of Southern-sounding speech by contemporary Texas women", bring up research questions/topics, elaborate on features associate with Southern English/Texas English, research conducted, summary of discussion/conclusion, additional note of any notable sources? Bring up highlights of paper?
 * From "Sociolinguistic resources, individual identities, and public speech styles of Texas women", same as above, maybe delve into how it is connected to above article? or how it is different?
