Article Evaluation: Helen Flanders Dunbar
There were a couple of distracting words or wording formats. For example, at the beginning of the "Life" section, the term "well-to-do" is used to describe her family. This is not a very descriptive word and offers no imperative information. The proceeding paragraph is confusing and difficult to understand. The fact that she always wore platform shoes seems extraneous and out of place. Information concerning her husband is also irrelevant and distracts from the topic of the article - Helen Dunbar.

Some of the information contradicts others. For example, it's stated that she suffered from malnutrition yet she attended many private schools and traveled Europe.

Although the majority of the article appeared unbiased, there were still instances in which a slight wording reflected the writer's own opinions. For example, when discussing her research, the writer states that the data demonstrates correlation and not causation in such a way that dismisses the efforts of her research.

The sources used appear very accurate and unbiased - nothing like blogs are present.

Overall, I think that the end of the article is better written than the beginning. The end contained less irrelevant information than the beginning.

Not much is present in the Talk section. It just discusses an edit that was made, requesting that other contributors review it.
