This is an evaluation of the Henrietta Wood article.

The introduction is short, but it is good. It gave an overview, and a reader would be able to understand who Henrietta Wood was without reading the whole page. Since it is short, the introduction is fairly concise in its content. The content itself is rather good, but there was a little bit of information missing. I felt that the article would have benefited from more details about Wood's life, as the main biography section was only 3 paragraphs long. It was very brief and essentially gave the same rundown of the book A Sweet Taste of Liberty, which we read in class. The article doesn't appear to have a lot of bias, as it is a basic overview of her life. The article simply presents the facts and the course of Wood's life. I did question the sources, as it seems to cite news sites such as the Washington Post and Time Magazine, rather than books or scholarly works on the topic. It does, however, cite A Sweet Taste of Liberty as an additional reading, which I know to be a trustworthy source. While I feel that scholarly works would have been a better source, I realize that it may have been difficult to find scholarly works about Henrietta Wood since she is not very well known. The writing and organization of the article are done well, and it is very easy for me to read and understand. I feel that this is a benefit of having a basic overview instead of a heavily detailed page.

The page does lack pictures. This is probably because there are not any photos of Henrietta Wood, so there would be no media to include. The article's talk page is also missing, as there are no posts or discussions. The edits that have been made are simple things, such as adding a rating, changing a banner, or adding the page to a Wik Project. The current article rating is a C Low, and the current Wiki project is Wiki Project Kentucky. The article seems to display a basic understanding of slavery and Henrietta's story, and it reads very similarly to A Sweet Taste of Liberty. Overall, it is a good page and gives a very good background for the general public.
