Which article are you evaluating?
(Velma Scantlebury) I am evaluating the article pertaining to Dr. Velma Scantlebury

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article because I believe it is important for scientists, especially women and persons of color, to get the recognition they deserve. My first impression of this article was poor, mostly because her page doesn't even have a picture (for now) to associate with her high achievements.

Evaluate the article
The introduction is a little bland, but gets the job done. For a woman with such high achievements, you'd think it would be a bit more detailed. The article does provide good content, as well as references with accommodating sources. However, upon further investigation, the article holds some details that are outdated and/or need to be updated in order to stay true. The article also contains a few grammatical and spelling errors, but overall reads like a jumble of information, as it should. A picture should be added of the person of interest, as suggested on the "Talk" page, but other than that, not much talking is happening. The article is a part of Wikipedia's "Women scientists" WikiProject, but rated a low importance C. Since the person is still alive, the article is considered underdeveloped since she is still making progress on her expertise and life.

Overall, the rating of a "C" makes sense due to the errors that are present, along with the incompleteness. Hopefully, in the future, Dr. Scantlebury will get the Wikipedia page that she deserves.
