Evaluating articles and sources

I read and evaluated the history of writing and Jimmy Wales, the co-founder of Wikipedia.r

Nothing in either document distracted me, on the page about Jimmy Wales there was a section that talked about his personal life and at first I thought it was distracting because I thought they were only going to talk about his involvement with Wikipedia. But then I realized that it was a page designed to inform you about his entire life, not just the foundation of his company. Both articles were neutral and strictly fact based. With the page regarding Jimmy they discussed some of the controversies he has had with Wikipedia, but they kept it to the facts and weren't biased. All of the sources and links worked when I tried them, and all of the sources were listed at the bottom of the page. Not only that but I really didn't notice any bias in either document.

I chose the topic, boxing in the united states. Not because I have a particular interest in this subject, but because I know from a historical standpoint that boxing has been a very popular sport for years and years and I believe that there isn't enough information supporting that. So I plan to contribute the historical standpoint (Ali, Tyson, Mayweather), boxing during the great depression,as well as boxing in America today.

Dr James Andrews(Physician)

On second thought I think I'm going to switch to edit the page about Dr. James Andrews. This guy is a legend in the world of medicine and I don't think he has enough information about him posted. He has performed hundreds of surgery's on the most famous and accomplished athletes and his page doesn't even list one of their names. Not only that but there isn't even a picture of him on his page. The sources are pretty weak as well considering this man has numerous articles by bleacher report and espn. It also doesnt talk much about what he is doing now and give a good biography about him. It includes his residence but doesn't really talk about where he practices or the company he works for and many of his affiliations aren't included.

Career and education[edit]
Andrews received his undergraduate and medical degrees from Louisiana State University, where he was an athlete, winning a Southeastern Conference Championship in polevaulting. He completed his residency at Tulane Medical School and completed fellowships at the University of Virginia School of Medicine and the University of Lyon.

Andrews is well known for performing orthopedic surgery on high-profile athletes from a wide array of sports and was the subject of an ESPN.com article that praised his talents and listed some of his notable clients. One excerpt from the magazine stated that "[Andrews] is the alpha doc at the center of a sports-medicine network that extends well beyond doctors. Every athletic trainer, physical therapist, strength-and-conditioning coach in the land seems to have Andrews' cell phone number".

He created the HealthSouth Sports Medicine Council and was the driving force[citation needed] behind the successful Go For It! Roadshow. He serves on the medical advisory board for Tenex Health, Inc., a medical device company that manufactures and markets the Tenex Health TX System for the treatment of chronic tendon and fascia pain.

List of Notable Patients
Andrews has performed on many high profile athletes. His popularity rose when he first performed a procedure in 1985 on a young pitcher named Roger Clemens. Clemens was starting to second-guess the team's diagnosis of a shoulder injury that was causing him a lot of pain and knocking some speed off of his fastball. Despite reassurances from the club that he could pitch through it, Clemens' agent sent him down to see Dr. James Andrews, an accomplished doctor specializing in minimally invasive arthroscopic surgery. Scoping was just beginning to catch on and Dr. Andrews was at the forefront of the movement. He diagnosed Clemens with a tear of the lab rum and performed the surgery himself. Eight months later Clemens was back in the major leagues striking out 20 players in a game.

Clemens repaid him tenfold by becoming a walking business card for Andrews' practice. Word of mouth started to build. Andrews gained a reputation as a player's doctor who they could trust for an athlete-centric diagnosis instead of a team physician. Stars like Bo Jackson, Michael Jordan, Jack Nicklaus, John Smoltz, Brett Favre and Adrian Peterson have all sung his praises in the 28 years since Clemens.
