Ellen Ochoa

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I was interested in this article as I had taught my 5th graders about Ellen Ochoa being the first Hispanic woman to go to space in the US. It matters because i wanted to know more about her, her education, accomplishment and career path. I thought it was a good article and had some significant information about her life and achievements.

Evaluate the article
The article had a decent lead section though the topic sentence did not mention her to be the first Hispanic female astronaut to go to space.

The content has some important facts though there is not much information about her personal life. the article highlights achievement of historically unrepresented population.

There are a couple secondary source of information not several for sources and reference.

The links work. Some other sources could be Ellen Ochoa | Biography & Facts ( https://www.britannica.com/biography/Ellen-Ochoa),

Organization is clear and easy to follow. It is broken in major sections.

The pictures selected were good quality though the captions could be more elaborate( location and the event were not mentioned for a couple of pictures)

The article is neutral though the talk page talks about some controversy about the first Hispanic in space. Also it would be precise to mention she was the first Chicana not just Hispanic.

It has received a "b" class in most of the categories.

The article is part of Wiki project Biography/Science and Academics. It could include more information about her personal life, her perseverance, more details about how she has motivated future generation, and how she spends her life now.
