Which article are you evaluating?
Janet Abbate

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
The reading we did in class of her work, Recoding Gender, really stood out to me. I think her work looking at women in the field of technology is very important. When I saw how bare her Wikipedia page was, I knew there had to be more information to add.

Evaluate the article

 * The lead section is clear and concise, introducing Abbate, what she does and what she studies.
 * I believe there is some information that could be added to the lead section to flesh it out more, maybe introducing some of her published work to show that she's not just any professor who studies women and technology.
 * The content discussed in the article is all relevant to Abbate.
 * There is some information that is missing or outdated.
 * She co-edited Standard Policy for Information Infrastructure with Brian Kahin.
 * She also received her masters University of Pennsylvania, and her bachelor's from Harvard
 * She was born on June 3, 1962
 * More information about the research conducted in Abbate's books could be added
 * The tone of the article is fairly neutral and consistent.
 * More time is spent discussing Inventing the Internet, than Recoding Gender.
 * Both positive and negative feedback is given for Inventing the Internet.
 * Only positive discussed for Recoding Gender, no critique.
 * Everything that is mentioned in the article is properly cited.
 * Most citations at the bottom of the page check out.
 * One of the sources is her personal website - biased?
 * The citation for her receiving the 2014 Computer History Museum Prize links to the incorrect page.
 * The article is concise and easy to read.
 * There are some phrasing that could be changed.
 * The sentence discussing her work prior to her academic career could be broken up, possibly given its own section if more information is found.
 * The sentence on the critique of Inventing the Internet could be broken up, one sentence about positive reviews and another sentence on the negative.
 * The sections are relevant, though as noted above, there could be another section before academic career about her background as a computer programmer.
 * There are no images in the article. There could be an image of Abbate, and possibly the cover(s) of her published work(s).
 * The only thing brought up on the article's talk page is someone asking for citations for the conclusions Abbate came to in Inventing the Internet.
 * It is of interest of several WikiProjects
 * Biography / Science and Academia (rated Start-class); Computing (Start-class, low-importance); Women's History (Start-class, low-importance); University of Pennsylvania (Start-class, low-importance); and Women Scientists (Start-class, low-importance)
 * Overall, this article is a good start and has a lot of basic information. However, there are quite a few areas that could be expanded on an improved.
