Which article are you evaluating?
(Josephine Baker)

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I am interested in African American presence in Paris post Word War 1 and the leading personalities who emerged from that community. Josephine Baker is one of the most renowned amongst that group. Her life encompasses the arts as well the French Resistance, civil rights movement, philathropy and feminism, so I am curious to see what information is out there about her life.

Evaluate the article
The article has a good lead that summarizes the person and their life events. The article also moves along in a chronological fashion through the landmark moments of Baker's life. There are 2 to 3 citations for most facts stated- except one significant piece of information that needs independent verification. In the Talk section, I saw a discussion regarding the inclusion or exclusion of reports on the sexuality of Baker. This discussion emphasized the importance of having at least 2 separate independent, verifiable sources for a piece of information, that can eliminate possible biases.
