The article I read focused on the gender roles in pre-Columbian mesoamerica. It was an interesting article, but it tended to show some biases in the way it presented the information. It seemed to have a pro-women feel to it which is normally great, but it should be more neutral when being posted on wikipedia. For example, it should just present the information rather than include evaluative statements about the information. Aside from that it was an interesting read. I found it especially interesting how these societies didn't seem to care about gender norms by occasionally not differentiating between men and women in their art, writings, and ceremonial wear. I have decided on one currently existing article and two articles that currently do not exist that I could work on. The current existing article is the Spanish version of the article on Sabrina Gonzalez Pasterski (https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sabrina_Gonzalez_Pasterski). The English version already does not contain much information on her, but the Spanish version is limited to only a paragraph and I feel as if I can really expand it. Sabrina Gonzalez Pasterski is a Cuban-American physicist who is regarded as one of the most impressive up and coming scientists. Seeing as this is her social and educational background, she meets the topic requirements for this project. Her article would need to be expanded 5 fold in order to meet the scope of work requirements. This should be easy enough seeing as her article consists of about only one paragraph. A good source that could be used for this article is an interview of hers that was conducted by Remezcla                                                         (http://remezcla.com/features/culture/sabrina-paterski-physics-einstein/).

The first article I thought about creating was one for Diana Sierra. She is a Colombian industrial engineer who helped co-found the Be Girl who makes affordable and disposable menstrual products for girls around the globe. Being a woman of color in engineering makes her meet the topic requirements for making her article. Also, I would only need to type a 1500 word article to meet the scope of work requirement. Seeing as she has been a part of this huge project and has plenty of other world changing projects that she is working on, she should also be able to meet the notability requirements. A good place to start looking for information on her would be her website since basic biographical information and information about her projects can be obtained from it (http://dianasierra.com/).

The second article I have thought about creating is one for Sabrina Castillo. She is a Mexican-American woman who helped start Latina Girls Code which is a program that helps young Latinas learn about coding and helps them get into the STEM field. Her involvement in STEM and the fact that she is a Mexican-American woman helps her meet the topic requirements for the article. Again, I would just have to type up at least 1500 words to make this meet the scope of work requirements and her position as a founder of this organization should be enough to make her notability worthy of a Wikipedia article. A good place to start looking for her information would be her interview with The Herald News (https://www.theherald-news.com/2017/07/20/latina-girls-code-empowers-students-to-teach/awua71y/).
