WikiProject Women scientists

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
(Briefly explain why you chose it, why it matters, and what your preliminary impression of it was.)

I chose this article as I specifically found that women scientist were underrepresented in history, and because Wikipedia is free-form encyclopedia website, people have the ability to bridge the gap between system under-representation of women in history and our knowledge of the contributions women have made to science today.

 * Is everything in the article relevant to the article topic? Is there anything that distracted you? Is any information out of date? Is anything missing that could be added? Can you identify any notable equity gaps? Does the article underrepresent or misrepresent historically marginalized populations? What else could be improved?
 * Answer: I found that everything in the WikiProject Article was relevant to the article, as it is a page in which people are urged to find women scientist that are either a) completely missing from Wikipedia, b) underrepresented in English, with little translation for people to understand, and thus much less representation of the scientist to the general English speaking population, and c) Women who have not been evaluated over all of their goals or have very slim articles, which do not represent their scientific contributions. The only distracting portion I found was the list of articles as they are rated, which is completely necessary but admittedly a little intimidating and confusing. I did not find that any information was out if date, as the article is quite frequently updated (every Sunday). I don’t believe that there are any notable equity gaps, as the purpose of the article is to eliminate those, with the exception being that maybe articles which are not in English are slower to be updated? This, however, is due mainly to the inability to translate these articles easily.
