Option 1

 * Article title: Helen B. Taussig
 * Article Evaluation
 * I evaluated this article last week and I think it still stands as a good option for the assignment. Helen Taussig was a pioneer the of field of pediatric cardiology. Most notably, Taussig was accredited with developing a procedure at Johns Hopkins that extended the lives of babies born with Tetralogy of Fallot (or blue baby syndrome). Throughout the article, I spotted a few places where a citation was needed. I also found the format of the article extremely messing, making it hard to follow. The article was rated a "C" on the WikiProject Biography and WikiProject Women's History which means it is an important article but definitely needs some work done to clean it up. There are plenty of scholarly articles available on Taussig which makes this topic a very attractive option.

Option 2

 * Article title: Louise L. Sloan
 * Article Evaluation
 * Louise Sloan was an ophthalmologist and vision scientist of the eighteenth century. She was the director of the Johns Hopkins Wilmer Eye Institute for nearly fifty years. Her most notable work was in the field of clinical vision research. That was about all the information that I could gather about her on the wikipedia page. The article itself was barely a few lines long which explains why it was rated as a stub article. However, I believe the topic has a lot of potential. While I was looking for sources, there was a lot more information that was available but just wasn't included in the article. I think this would be a great article option.

Option 3

 * Article title: Tina Cheng
 * Article Evaluation
 * Currently Tina Cheng does not have a wikipedia article, however I think it would be deserving to create her one. Cheng, a pediatric expert, was named the Given Foundation Professor of Pediatrics, director of the Department of Pediatrics, the first woman pediatrician-in-chief of the Johns Hopkins Hospital and co-director of Johns Hopkins Children's Center. Although she is still alive and practicing medicine today, I think it would be appropriate to start a page for all of her accomplishments in the pediatrics field to this point.
