Article evaluation During my training, I learned how important it is to paraphrase and cite. Those were the things that were largely emphasized and I completely understand why. My method for paraphrasing is often to take the quote, read over it a bunch and then pretend I am telling it to someone who knows nothing about the topic or the quote. I hope that the same tactic will for with this. I am very excited to create articles and to edit them, but I am also very nervous. There was a good amount of information given and I worry that I will make mistakes along the way.

Esther Inglis:

The article was very relevant to Esther's life. Although in the first section, a woman name Jane Segar is written about and compared to Inglis, but there is no link or reference to who she is.

Other than that everything in the article seems to be about or related to the life and career or Esther Inglis. I do think that the first section is a bit misleading by calling her a miniaturist, but I don't know if that is how I would describe her career. The rest of the article talks about her time and career in manuscripts and as a scribe.

The article did take a neutral stance while still emphasizing and highlighting her career and struggle as a woman. It seemed to highlight her marriage and how she was very reliant on her husband to help build her career. The article didn't touch upon other types of work that she created besides her manuscripts which was disappointing.

The links to other wikipedia pages did work and were often very helpful. The one on miniatures was interesting at the start but is also the one that made the article misleading. The citations footnote links worked as well. I didnt have any citation links though.

The article is rated a B article according to the Talk page but other than that there were no comments that I could see on the edit page which was interesting and slightly disappointing. It is part of a bunch of Wikiprojects - Biography, Scotland, Women's History, Women Artists, and Women Writers. While it is a part of many projects it still feels like there is little work being done on this artist.
